BURUNDI - POLICY:   AN OPPOSITION TO NOT VERY ORTHODOXE MANNERS.          AGNEWS, DAM, NY, 05/24/2006

- CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO INCREASE THEM -

In Burundi, the political opposition occupies in a constant way 1/3 of media space. A larval war between the FRODEBU and CNDD (NYANGOMA) is announced… But a dangerous tendency is observed by their will common to link undemocratic currents in order to extend their influences inside the country and to confirm their visible bases in capital BUJUMBURA.

This alliance unusual, with the BURUNDI ETHNICAL HARDLINE ORGANISATIONS representing these last weeks about 30% of the media occupation, allows the opposition a domination strong and consolidated of almost 60% in the field where the 4th force utters: The press - media -.

The indicators of the country go near the red line little by little:  - Amnesty International classifies Burundi among the countries in war -;  - HRW denounces BURUNDI near the AMERICAN SENATE for non respect of the right of expression; - etc .
Paradoxically, the need for a massive help at the international level to assist from a population in suffering is made feel !  In these difficult moments for the Burundian people, government NKURUNZIZA fights to rectify a disastrous socio-economic situation coming 40 years of a calamitous political management.

As for the governmental coalition, the double game remains the key word.  The UPRONA, supported by “its” civil society controlling the socio-economic sector main road and - opposed openly to the CNDD-FDD -, returns a blur to the many political actions carried by the government, giving as a feeling of already seen… corruptions etc But government NKURUNZIZA works !   
The insufficient assessment - in the first phase of reorganization of Burundi institutional political system - 1st Vice president of the Republic affiliated to the UPRONA, helps by no means with respect to the observers.

Attention with this dangerously inflating opposition, standardizing - the ethnisation of our society -, with the profit of the UPRONA hoping that no legislation will come to call into question - its institutionalized ethnic quotas - inherited “its” Agreements from Arusha -
