11 days. Still nothing on Benjamin Babunga Watuna (@benbabunga), abducted in Bujumbura on 27 May by Burundian intelligence (SNR) at Kinshasa's request. #DRC
Benjamin is a husband and father of four. His family is in Belgium. A humanitarian worker, blogger, and analyst of the Great Lakes region detained for one reason only: publishing critical analysis on X and Facebook.
His arrest came one day after a high-level visit by DRC's Defence Minister to Bujumbura and Kinshasa is now seeking his extradition.
An open letter signed by Great Lakes intellectuals and human rights defenders has already urged President Ndayishimiye the current Chair of the @_AfricanUnion to release Benjamin.
