Burundi / Stratégie
As in its other campaigns, Radio Benevolencija plans to continue its broadcast and knowledge-embedding activities in Burundi for at least three years. This means that the organization intends to continue broadcasts of the two flagship programs Musekeweya and Inyanduruko until the end of 2009.
Currently, the organization is developing its Burundi programming with a weekly radio drama that stresses the need for justice and for an end to a culture of impunity. The Kirundi-language justice drama will inform the audience about the alternative systems used in post-conflict nations to encourage confessions from perpetrators, and allow for a process of accommodation and healing on the part of the victims. Such systems include Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, Commission of Inquiries, Gacaca, etc.
Historique du pays
Le Burundi a eu son lot de conflits ethniques au cours des quatre dernières décennies. Depuis sa prise d'indépendance face à la Belgique en 1962 jusqu'aux élections de 1993, le Burundi est resté sous le contrôle d'une série de dictateurs militaires, tous issus de la minorité tutsie.
