Merging Cultures Posted 17 December 2015 Posted 17 December 2015 I couldn't find a suitable thread for this, please merge if there is another general World News thread. I'll start with news from Burundi. It's really shocking and hits me quite hard. I was last there in January and we have friends there. Over the weekend some friends of ours had six bullets hit their house, near their lounge where their two children were watching TV. The US government in the last few days has told all Americans to leave. They have headed to Tanzania. A consultant I worked with earlier in the year is trying to leave for Europe. He can't go to the surrounding countries because he is a Tutsi. A friend of his was dragged from his house and killed last Friday. He fears the same. In Rwanda, Burundi refugee kids and young men are being recruited to join ethnic militia groups. Everyone in country is saying they are on the verge of civil war. This will leak out across the region and has the potential for another genocide. At the moment, the world is sitting back and waiting. Hopefully we learnt from Rwanda.
