Conspiracy against #Burundi's image?

@BurundiGov denounces an uncanny chain of events and the likely involvement of #Belgium embassy authorities in a case of "disappearance" of Burundian drummers, recently reported by Swiss newspaper "La Liberté".
1/n
 presidence.gov.bi/wp-content/upl…
2/n
 Key elements :
- A group of drummers were granted the *NORMALLY HIGHLY SCRUTINIZED* Schengen visa through the #Belgium embassy
- for the purpose of representing #Burundi at a cultural event in #Swiss
- WITHOUT any supporting documents from #Burundi-an authorities
3/n
@BurundiGov denounces steps seemingly taken to circumvent local authorities involvement in an event representing #Burundi's image on the international stage, with the complicity of #Belgium embassy personnel.

No surprise,
Posing at, attending #Burundi radicals opposition meetings, @RFI's @rutwesdras confirms (again) relentless anti-ruling party bias that has been noticed throughout @RFI's coverage of #Burundi

Dear @rutwesdras @AFP @AFPAfrica, @RFIAfrique @RFI and others,
will you update your article on #Burundi refugees who recently came from #Rwanda with comments of said refugees ?
or are you planning a full article on this matter ?
Video testimonies of refugees COMING BACK to #Burundi were completely ignored by the same medium
🤔but today, -written- refugees testimonies suddenly matter again to @RFI @AFPAfrica @rutwesdras

: "while the Nkurunziza government has accused regional actors (aka #Rwanda) of meddling to fuel conflict in the country, these allegations have remained largely false."

It is now (very) safe to ignore @issafrica from credible knowledge sources on #Burundi
Let's recall this:
#Burundi has showed 35 pieces of evidence to the @_icglr accusing #Rwanda of fueling #BurundiCrisis,
The @_icglr is the same organ which investigated on #Rwanda's accusations against #Burundi, of hosting Interhamwe (No proof found)
However, #Rwanda conveniently refused to allow @_icglr to investigate #Burundi's claims (which, again, are already backed by 35 pieces of evidences.)
Apparently, this is enough for @priyal_singh & @issafrica to conclude that the claims are false.

I will make a thread on why I am against the electoral putsch in #DRC and why I am worried for this country that has never known a democratic transition since independence.
Let me start with a disclaimer : I don’t like France. No rather I hate France. I have never hidden it and this will not change even after my death because it is personal. France hurt me , physically , psychologically, emotionally , financially by imposing a savage regime in #Togo
This said, may you all know that I don’t give a jack about #France and it’s mate Belgium which did worse in the #DRC than #France did in #Togo where we still have memories of White French soldiers descending on the streets along with our soldiers to repress us during protests.

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

En 1955, le #Burundi avait réellement tout pour réussir son entrée dans le concert des nations indépendantes : une monarchie multiseculaire, une élite éduquée et récalcitrante aux tentations divisionnistes. 10 ans après, ce rêve disparaissait.

1955-1965, la décennie "Test"
L'histoire contemporaine du #Burundi débute, le 24 avril 1955, lors de la célèbre conférence de Bandoeng où est lancée officiellement le mouvement de décolonisation. Sont présents pour le compte du #Burundi, les Princes Rwagasore, Muhirwa et Biroli.
À cette époque, sévit en Afrique, une lutte de pouvoir entre les partis dits autonomistes/"collaborationnistes" et les partis indépendantistes/"nationalistes" qualifiés de dangereux par le colon et d'"alliés du communisme satanique et international" par le clergé étranger.

Went to Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan today. Official population at 53,967, according to @UNHCR as of February 2018. All Syrian #refugees.

In many ways it was not what I expected.
First thing you notice is how remote the location is — some 100 kms east of Amman; 20 kms from Azraq town; 75 kms to Saudi Arabia; 255 kms to Iraq; and 90 kms to the Syrian border — from which its inhabitants fled.
At the same time, the harshness of the setting — a hardscrabble, sprawling 15 square km patch, scratched, etched and stretched out of endless rolling desert.

The perimeter was equally formidable, with security fencing, official patrols, check points and razor wire.
