Dr. Matsanga, this is beyond imagination. Burundi is going through an extremely difficult situation under the current leadership.
People are struggling with access to basic necessities: insufficient clean water, unreliable electricity, fuel shortages, and extremely high prices for essential goods. Many young Burundians are leaving the country in search of opportunities in Kenya and Uganda, where some end up selling mandazi, peanuts, and other small items on the streets simply to survive.
There are also deeply concerning reports about young Burundian women being recruited to work as domestic workers in Arab countries, with allegations that some are subjected to abuse and, in certain cases, pressured to remain silent rather than receiving adequate protection.
Meanwhile, ordinary Burundians are struggling to survive while the government continues to spend significant time and resources on international travel. People are asking a very simple question: what tangible benefits are these trips bringing to the ordinary Burundian citizen?
Burundians deserve clean water, reliable electricity, affordable fuel, employment opportunities, and protection for their young people not just promises. The suffering of ordinary citizens should be at the centre of the country's priorities.
@TheRealAagnand@dlLambo Not a legal scholar, so not conceding anything. I am just making the simple point that military history is full of men who chose not to be wankers (Walzer's book has a fair few of them), even when jus in bello would allow a killing. (340 millions and you don't even have the word)
@TheRealAagnand@dlLambo No laws against it, but military history is full of examples of armed men having decency and choosing not doing what the law permitted. What a based, shameful bunch of states.
The right to criticize, mock and offend religion has been central to the long and bloody struggle for free speech and open societies. Undermining this right does not lead to tolerance and respect, but orthodoxy, ignorance and submission.
@manderadet Mit arbejde er på SDU, hum. En interessant sag ville være at se på hvad syv-kravet (helt forventeligt) har betydet for optaget af hhv unge mænd og kvinder og dermed, deres muligheder. The numbers are in et sted i organisationen.
@manderadet SMK redigerer simpelthen? Et mas. I tager gode kampe - dette er ikke én af dem. Staten gør mange ting uden at spørge, helt legitimt. At rette et dokumenteret hul i noget der behandles som reference værk - fint. SMK formidler kunsthistorie
@coyitungiy78935@GeneralNeva@_AfricanUnion@NtareHouse@Imvubu_Ikanuye Les liens sont mondiaux : FMI, Banque mondiale, UNICEF, Transparency International. Aucun exilé parmi eux. L'attention portée au régime burundais l'est aussi, et elle est bien rare. Si peu d'attention, et déjà tant de nervosité.
@coyitungiy78935@GeneralNeva@_AfricanUnion@NtareHouse@Imvubu_Ikanuye Les nouvelles voyagent loin, surtout quand elles portent du Gucci. Et si des stations servent tous les jours, tant mieux. Mais alors pourquoi M. Rufyiri en voit-il à sec, et pourquoi le FMI parle-t-il encore de pénuries ?
@coyitungiy78935@GeneralNeva@_AfricanUnion@NtareHouse@Imvubu_Ikanuye Des procédures ? Le marché central de Bujumbura a brûlé en 2013 : 7 000 commerçants touchés. Onze ans après, il était toujours en ruine, sans enquête approfondie ni poursuites, selon l'OLUCOME. Les procédures, on les observe en effet. https://t.co/K05gouFfrG
