What is going on there, actually sounds very bad. Ominous.

DR Congo (formerly Zaire), Tanazania and Uganda are also very near by. That part of the world has seen its share of turmoil and suffering.
It almost looks like the two countries were once unified. If one looks at a large map of Africa, as nations, the two appear fairly small in regards to the continent as a whole.
As for this current situation, I remember for awhile, I was reading of some “unrest” over there, it didn’t seem like too major of unrest compared to what does happen in the world but I believe I read about an extrajudicial killing and protests over there.
As always, check the news for oneself:

I am not meaing to “bump” my own thread, a story this morning also recalled this incident in Burundi around 9 months ago:
www.bbc.com
I remembered the story once I read the article. So, if this happened as in the BBC article, that is a serious human right violation. I read up on the story at the time. I’d think there is enough evidence to think this did happen.
Below is a map of the area, as you can see, it seems like Burundi is similar to Rwanda, where we know that they had troubles in the 1990s.
