Les “massacres” de TEZA et 
de BUGENDANA

 

L’ Extrême-Droite Burundaise Tutsi parle de “Génocide”

 


AGNews 2002


AGNews  a décidé d’ y  voir un peu plus clair sur ces drames.  Nous avons décider de prendre des sources différentes pour pouvoir comprendre.

 

 I) Avertissements 

1/ Des enquêtes judiciaires “neutres” ne se sont pas encore prononcées sur la plupart  de ces faits. Ainsi nous avons décidé de nous référer à des enquêtes indépendantes d’organismes “Neutre” de grande renommée.

2/ Lorsque l’on évoque Hutu ou Tutsi, on suppose qu’il s’agit de Hutu ou de Tutsi. Par exemple pour les rebelles du FDD , ils rétorquent qu’ils tuent des TUTSI car au sein de leur mouvement, on y trouve des TUTSI et des HUTU (fait avéré).

 II) Les massacres de TEZA et de BUGENDANA.

 

Un des thèmes favori de l’Extrême-droite Burundaise Tutsi est d’évoquer TEZA, Bugendana  comme étant un génocide TUTSI. Regardons ensemble objectivement :
