Now we . Preparations are completed. The departure is July 9, destination Murehe (Burundi) via Addis Ababa, Kigali and Bujumbura.
The group consists of five people including a priest. I fought like a wounded animal to be able to get up in Darfur, but my efforts were not rewarded by some. Only Don Jose, a former missionary in Burundi, has invited me to go with him. "Come with us, the situation is more interesting," said Don Jose. I, however, I was hesitant: still choose to fight for Darfur, hoping to find someone to bring me there or go to Burundi? Well, between a train and you wait for who knows how long, and one which surely few day, I chose the latter.
In Burundi, it is coming out by years of civil war and atrocities committed by the two resident ethnic groups, Hutus and Tutsis. To put an end to the vicissitudes of the two sides, a truce that would lead to a peace that still sluggish. In fact, the latest cease-fire agreement between Burundi's President Domitien Ndayizeye and the leader of the rebels of the FNL (National Liberation Forces) Agathon Rwasa only lasted 4 days. The agreement signed in Dar-es-Salaam, therefore, has not held up their weapons and have begun to take their toll roars of death. Meanwhile, June 3, were held municipal elections that marked the defeat of President Domitien Ndayizeye who must leave il passo ai componenti del CNDD, Consiglio Nazionale per la Difesa della Democrazia.
Quest'oggi, tornando ai preparativi, ho ultimato le pratiche sanitarie, vaccini, medicine ed assicurazione. Il mio viaggio in Burundi sarà finalizzato a fotografare (clandestinamente, vado in veste di impiegato delle poste, perché il governo non è favorevole all’arrivo di giornalisti) campi profughi, malati di aids, rifugiati, orfanotrofi, ospedali e vittime della guerra.
