Seeking Asylum in Burundi

Rwandans seeking asylum in Burundi are up to 20,000+. Many say it is due to the Gacaca local courts starting publicly last year, people fleeing false accusations or unjust punishments. But not only the Hutu majority are facing prejudice. There are cases of political suppression and state-sponsored harrassment towards many Rwandans.

Acknowledge both sides, and try to investigate what Rwanda is doing about it. Share the link and spread the word.
