Arrest warrant issued for Ex-President Buyoya.

Burundi has issued an international arrest warrant for former president Pierre Buyoya due to his alleged involvement in the assassination of President Melchior Ndadaye in 1993. Ndadaye, Burundi's first democratically elected Hutu president, was killed in a military coup led by Tutsi soldiers. Buyoya, a Tutsi, took power in the coup. The killing of Ndadaye sparked ethnic violence between Hutus and Tutsis in Burundi, leading to a civil war that lasted for over a decade. The conflict resulted in the deaths of thousands of people and left the country deeply divided along ethnic lines. Buyoya served two terms as president of Burundi, first from 1987 to 1993 and then again from 1996 to 2003. He has been accused of playing a role in Ndadaye's assassination, although he has denied any involvement. The international arrest warrant against Buyoya signifies a renewed effort by the Burundian government to hold those responsible for past atrocities accountable. It also highlights the lingering ethnic tensions and political instability in the country. #Burundi #PierreBuyoya #PresidentialAssassination #EthnicConflict #Accountability #Ndadaye #InternationalWarrant
