    SITUATION REPORT 9 – 15 July 2007 UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES Office for the Coordination of Bureau de Coordination des Humanitarian Affairs in Burundi Affaires Humanitaires au Burundi http://ochaonline.un.org/Burundi http://ochaonline.un.org/Burundi ACTIVITIES AND UPDATES Update on repatriation Last week, UNHCR reported the return of 840 Burundian refugees who arrived from Tanzania through the entry points of Kobero / Muyinga province (182), Gisuru /Ruyigi province (248) and Mabanda / Makamba province (410). This is the first repatriation which has taken place since new measures to promote the return of Burundians from northwestern camps in Tanzania were announced. Nonetheless, statistics of previous years reveal that the present increase in the number of returnees is normal during this time of the year. Since the beginning of the UNHCR facilitated repatriation process in April 2002, the number of returnees normally starts increasing from May and peaks in August due to the end of the school year and harvests. The impact of the cash grant programme will be better evaluated through returnee caseloads starting from late September. During the period under review, 462 DRC refugees were transferred from Bujumbura to Musasa transit center (Ngozi province). To date, the total number of DRC refugees transferred to Gasorwe refugee camp and Musasa transit center in 2007 is 4,287. Update on Burundians expelled from Tanzania Expelled persons continue to arrive from Tanzania. During the reporting week, the Government project for the reintegration of war-affected persons (PARESI) registered 414 persons (205 families) expelled from Tanzania: 356 at the entry point of Kobero (Muyinga) and 58 in Mishiha (Cankuzo).

  • BURUNDI: Floods and Landslides Flash Update No
    BURUNDI: floods and landslides Flash Update No. 4 11 February 2020 HIGHLIGHTS • 3 people dead, 19 injured, and more than 11,000 displaced as a result of floods in Gatumba, Buterere, Kinama and Bubanza from 28 to 29 January 2020 • Relocation, shelter, and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) are among the most urgent needs • Response capacity remains fragile in view of the upcoming rainy season (February to mid-May) SITUATION OVERVIEW Although it should have been the short dry season (December – January 2019), heavy rainfall combined with other underlying factors caused flooding that cost lives, displaced people internally, and caused extensive damage to shelter, infrastructure (roads, schools and bridges), and crops (especially in swamps). The north-western provinces of Cibitoke, Bubanza, Bujumbura Rural and Mairie have suffered – in varying degrees. The rains of 28-29 January 2020 particularly affected the northern and southern districts of Bujumbura Mairie, the commune of Mubimbuzi (Bujumbura Rural) and the communes of Bubanza province. • In the commune of Ntahangwa (Bujumbura Mairie), the Burundi Red Cross (BRC) and the local authorities counted 266 destroyed houses, 439 flooded houses and 1,390 internally displaced persons (IDPs). • In Bubanza, 266 houses were destroyed while 461 were partially destroyed. In addition, 3 people died, 19 were injured, and 1,507 people were displaced and left homeless. • In Mutimbuzi commune, the banks of the Rusizi River overflowed and flooded several districts of Gatumba, including Kinyinya 1&2, Muyange 1&2, Mushasha 1&2, Gaharawe (Bujumbura Mairie). According to the DTM, the first assessment reported 750 destroyed, 675 partially destroyed, and 942 flooded houses, as well as 9,743 IDPs in extreme need.

  • Burundi Page 1 of 17
    Burundi Page 1 of 17 Burundi Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2007 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor March 11, 2008 Burundi is a constitutional republic with an elected government and a population of 8.3 million. In August 2005, following local and parliamentary elections, the country's two houses of parliament indirectly elected as President, Pierre Nkurunzia, a member of the National Council for the Defense of Democracy–Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) political party. International observers reported that the elections, which ended a four-year transitional process under the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement, were generally free and fair. Although the CNDD-FDD party dominated parliament and the government, other major parties, notably the Burundian Front for Democracy (FRODEBU) and the Union for National Progress (UPRONA), were also represented. In September 2006 the government concluded a cease-fire agreement with the Party for the Liberation of the Hutu National Liberation Front (PALIPEHUTU-FNL or FNL), with which it had been engaged in hostilities since 1994, and began demobilizing an estimated 3,000 former FNL combatants. The government continued to integrate members of former rebel groups, including the CNDD-FDD, into the National Defense Forces (FDN). From 2004 to December 2007 the government demobilized more than 24,400 former combatants that included members of the regular army, some former rebels, and more than 3,000 child soldiers. Both sides generally adhered to the cease-fire agreement with the exception of a December 28 incident, in which the FNL attacked three military positions in Bubanza, resulting in several injuries and one death among government soldiers.

  • Rapport Octobre 2013
    Association Burundaise pour la Protection des Droits Humains et des Personnes Détenues « A.PRO.D.H. » RAPPORT MENSUEL D’OCTOBRE 2013 0. INTRODUCTION Le présent rapport est un condensé de toutes les violations des droits humains enregistrées par nos observateurs provinciaux. En plus des violations des droits humains enregistrées, il relève les améliorations par rapport aux mois passés. L’appréciation de la situation des droits humains procède par l’analyse du contexte sécuritaire, politique, judiciaire et social qui a prévalu au cours du mois car le respect de la dignité humaine ou bien l’atteinte aux libertés fondamentales de la personne humaine est une fonction directe de l’évolution du climat qui règne entre les citoyens, vu sous les 4 angles. La première partie du présent rapport concerne sur cette analyse. En second lieu, nous mettrons en exergue les différents cas d’atteintes au droit à la vie et à l’intégrité physique en relevant autant que faire se peut, les circonstances dans lesquelles les victimes ont été tuées ou ont subi de mauvais traitements. Les cas de torture et de viol constituent aussi des formes de violation des droits humains qui attirent beaucoup d’attention chez des observateurs des droits humains de l’APRODH. Une analyse approfondie de ces cas fera objet de la troisième partie du rapport. La situation carcérale constitue aussi une partie non moins importante dans les rapports mensuels de l’APRODH. Ainsi, elle sera abordée à travers les visites des cachots et des lieux de détention que nous avons effectuées au cours du mois d’Octobre aussi bien au niveau du siège qu’à celui de nos antennes.

    UNITED NATIONS A General Assembly Distr. GENERAL A/HRC/9/14 15 August 2008 Original: ENGLISH HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL Ninth session Agenda item 10 TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND CAPACITY-BUILDING Report of the independent expert on the situation of human rights in Burundi, Akich Okola* Summary The present report covers the independent expert’s ninth and tenth visits to Burundi, which were conducted from 2 to 8 December 2007 and from 29 June to 12 July 2008. The independent expert submitted a report on his eighth visit to the country from 20 to 26 May 2007 to the General Assembly at its sixty-second session (A/62/213). In that report, he suggested that the Government speed up the process of establishing a truth and reconciliation commission and a special tribunal, and called upon the Burundian authorities to fully investigate incidents of sexual violence and bring to justice those who committed such crimes. In addition, the independent expert asked the Government to implement the findings of the judicial commission on the Muyinga massacre and to investigate fully the Gatumba massacre. In the present report, the independent expert notes that the overall human rights situation in Burundi has deteriorated. More than 4,000 cases of human rights violations were committed in the first half of 2008 by law enforcement and administration of provinces. Most violations registered related to cases of ill-treatment, rape, torture of suspects by police officials and violations of due process by police and judicial officials. These issues are taken to the officials in charge in the Government by the Human Rights and Justice Section of the United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB) in the context of its monitoring activities.
