Genocide is not an option in Nigeria

/ AFP PHOTO / CARL DE SOUZA On Sunday July 4, 2021, Rwanda again solemnly marked the 27th anniversary of the end of the genocide of Tutsis in that country. What is known today as the Rwandan genocide was the culmination of years of tension between the incumbent Hutu government and the Tutsi ethnic group. As a result of an artificial ethnic distinction by Belgium, Rwanda’s colonial master, relations between the Hutus and Tutsis had degenerated into one defined by unending violence and hatred following the so-called 1959 “Hutu revolution” during which the Tutsi ruling elite was upended and thousands of Tutsis killed with many more forced into exile in neighbouring countries.

UN Human Rights Council 46 Interactive Dialogue with Commission of Inquiry on Burundi

Thank you, Madam President, The United Kingdom welcomes recent steps taken by the Government of Burundi that reaffirm its stated commitments on human rights, including the sentencing of policemen for killing civilians, the release of the four Iwacu journalists and engagement with banned media outlets. However the presentation demonstrates that further reforms are required to restore respect for human rights and other fundamental freedoms in Burundi. The UK remains particularly concerned by reports of continuing violations by the Imbonerakure and security forces. Impunity continues for numerous perpetrators of human rights violations, and political prisoners and human rights defenders remain imprisoned. We remain concerned about the erosion of the spirit of the Arusha Accords by the current composition of the cabinet.
