    [Government says there have been sustained and organised efforts to kill some of the Rwandan refugees living in South Africa."It is clear that these incidents directly link to tensions emanating from Rwanda and are acted upon within our borders," said spokesperson for the Department of International Relations and Cooperation Clayson Monyela on Saturday.In June 2010, there was an attack on the life of General Kayumba Nyamwasa, an asylum seeker and former Rwanda Army General.] BURUNDI : Le Burundi suspend les activités d'un parti d'opposition par RFI /17-03-2014 Au Burundi, les condamnations et autres appels à la modération lancés par la communauté internationale n’y ont rien fait. Après les violents affrontements entre les militants d’un parti d’opposition et la police, qui a tiré contre les manifestants, l’heure semble être à la répression. Le gouvernement burundais vient de franchir, durant le week-end du 15 mars, un palier supplémentaire dans la voie de la répression. Le ministre burundais de l’Intérieur Edouard Nduwimana a en effet suspendu le Mouvement pour la solidarité et la sémocratie (MSD) d’activités pour quatre mois et ferme ses locaux sur toute l’étendue du pays. Ce parti d’opposition, encore sonné par les coups de boutoir qu’il vient de recevoir, a décidé de plier pour ne pas donner « un prétexte à des mesures encore plus contraignantes ». Et sur un ton sarcastique, François Nyamoya, porte-parole du MSD ajoute que « de toute façon, on était déjà suspendu de facto, car le pouvoir nous interdit systématiquement de manifester et même de tenir de simples réunions depuis des mois ».
