Imiryango ishobora kwamburwa amikoro ayitunze
Mu bigo bitandukanye by’impunzi yasuye, ubusabe bwo guhita zisubira mu nkambi bwahuye n’ukutabyemera kw’impunzi zishingira imibereho yazo ku bikorwa by’ubucuruzi n’indi mirimo bikorera hanze y’inkambi kugira ngo zibone ibyo kugaburira imiryango yazo.
Kugabanuka kw’inkunga z’ubutabazi kwatumye imibereho y’impunzi mu bigo zituyemo irushaho kuba mibi. Imiryango myinshi ivuga ko ibiribwa ihabwa bidahagije. Kugira ngo yunganire iyo nkunga, hari impunzi zijya i Bujumbura gukora ubucuruzi buciriritse, gushaka akazi k’umunsi cyangwa gukora indi mirimo izinjiriza amafaranga.

Yamaganye kandi ibyo abona nk’ukutavuga rumwe hagati y’ubusabe bw’ishami ry’Umuryango w’Abibumbye ryita ku Mpunzi (HCR/UNHCR) n’Ibiro by’Igihugu bishinzwe Kurengera Impunzi n’Abatagira Ubwenegihugu (ONPRA), bwo gushishikariza impunzi kwigira, n’icyemezo gishobora kuzikuraho uburyo bwo kwibeshaho.

Impungenge ziyongereye nyuma y’ifatwa ry’impunzi z’Abanyekongo, cyane cyane Abanyamulenge, mu byumweru bishize. Uretse abantu 13 baherutse kwerekwa abanyamakuru, hari n’izindi mpunzi zafashwe mu byumweru bibiri bishize mu duce dutandukanye two mu majyaruguru no mu majyepfo ya Bujumbura. Bamwe mu bavandimwe bazo bavuga ko izo mfungwa zafashwe zishimutiwe, kandi ko badafite amakuru ku byababayeho.

Muri Kivu y’Amajyepfo, uwo mutwe ushyigikiwe by’umwihariko na Twirwaneho, umutwe witwaje intwaro ugizwe ahanini n’abarwanyi bo mu bwoko bw’Abatutsi bo muri RDC, bazwi nk’Abanyamulenge.
Muri ibi bihe, ubuyobozi bw’u Burundi bukeka ko bamwe mu Banyamulenge bahungiye muri icyo gihugu bakorana n’inyeshyamba cyangwa bakorera u Rwanda ibikorwa by’ubutasi. Ibyo birego byibasiye abantu runaka byongereye ubwoba bw’uko umuryango wose ushobora gufatwa nk’uwakekwaho ibikorwa by’ubugizi bwa nabi, kandi benshi mu bawugize barahunze urugomo rwo mu burasirazuba bwa RDC.
Muri Nzeri ishize, itsinda ry’impunzi, ahanini rigizwe n’Abanyamulenge, ryari riri i Gitega, umurwa mukuru wa politiki w’u Burundi, ryasubijwe mu nkambi zari zaragenewe gutuzwamo nk'uko SOS Media Burundi ibitangaza.

Mu mezi ashize, impunzi z’Abanyekongo zigera ku bihumbi byinshi, inyinshi muri zo zari zituye mu kigo cya Busuma mu Karere ka Ruyigi, mu Ntara ya Buhumuza, mu burasirazuba bw’u Burundi, zahisemo gusubira mu duce two muri Kivu y’Amajyepfo tugikomeje kwibasirwa n’intambara, bitewe n’uko imibereho yazo yari yarushijeho kuba mibi.
Iki cyemezo, bivugwa ko cyafashwe mu rwego rwo kurinda umutekano, gishobora kurushaho kuzahaza imibereho y’impunzi ibihumbi n’ibihumbi, zari zisanzwe zibayeho mu buzima bugoye kubera kugabanuka kw’inkunga z’ubutabazi. Gishobora kandi kuzibangamira mu kwigira no mu mahirwe yo kubaho mu buzima burangwa n’icyubahiro.
