BURUNDI - SECURITY :  PERIOD OF FEBRUARY A MAY 2006

“POLICE FORCE SE DEPLOYS ON THE TERRITORY   ”

 AGNEWS ,  DAM ,   NY,   20/05/2006


The “1” of February and April 2006:  one period of intense police activity.

From September to January 2005, first difficult months due to the changes of security  natures which took place with the government. 
For example, collaboration enters the old service of documentation and the arriving news was hard. But with final, it contributed to the resolution of “PALIPEHUTU-FNL question ”.

From February 2006 with today, one notices a relatively good security situation. It makes it possible to be better devoted to the socio-economic challenge of the country. The resumption of an active life within the civil society testifies some.  The result is edifying.  Conferences regionals, visits of foreign eminent personages become frequent.  A resumption of the tourist sector starts. 

A remarkable work was achieved by the security actors (the  home ministry, the ministry for defense and services of documentation.) since the entry with the government NKURUNZIZA at our day.

The police force is increasingly present and effective, instead of the army.
For example, the arrests are not done any more by soldiers but by the police force.  

The sign of a standardized situation, the police force has usually to face infringements “of traditional types” of order public (banditisms,robs, crimes, rape etc).  All the same, a voluntary disarmament campaign of the civil population is carried out…  The situation of war moves away deeply.  Some 500 applicants of Rwandan asylums returned voluntarily. But the Congolese refugees prefer to wait, after July 2006, at the end of elections in their country.

From now on, the FDN, in order to regild their images with the population, will be devoted can be with  humanitarian interventions, according to the example of the ONUB at the time of the rains torrential this May 2006.

In terms of conclusion, safety is good but only one flat!   Vigilance!  An attempt at Coup  whose would be implied a foreign power would be in hand in order to destabilize Burundi. The History showed with “NDADAYE”, the regional stakes geostrategic are very dangerous and unforeseeable! The international Community prepares with the elections in DRC!
