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

Journalists can be wrong too.
@bbcafrica just acknowledged their mistake.

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.

: "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.

FLASH 🔴 Disparition d'un groupe de tambourinaires venus du #Burundi en #Suisse: le @BurundiGov "tient l'Ambassade de #Belgique à #Bujumbura pour seule responsable des conséquences de l'octroi des facilités à des personnes qui veulent ternir l'image du Burundi"
Le @BurundiGov s’étonne "de la facilité avec laquelle l'Ambassade de #Belgique au #Burundi a délivré les visas à des gens sensés allés représenter le Burundi sans qu'ils n'aient présenté de document officiel" alors que l'@BelgiumInBuja est minutieuse "quand il s'agit d'officiels"
COMMUNIQUÉ 🔴 Rappelant que "la #Belgique délivre les visas au #Burundi pour les courts séjours au nom des membres de la zone #Schengen", les ambassades de l'#UE "nient toute volonté de nuire à l’image du Burundi" dans l'affaire des tambourinaires burundais disparus en #Suisse

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.

Just thought I'd check in with my readers. I've been missing in action, or close to it, for some days. 1/X
2. There appears to be widespread agreement that the fundamental problem with America is that we have a perverted, evil, dishonest, rude, obnoxious, stupid person in the position where a President should be.
3. I'll grant you that's not a good thing. I never would have thought, under our Constitution, that a President could do this much damage. And, in point of fact, under our Constitution one couldn't.
