BANYAMULENGE TUTSI DESPERATE IN MANY AREAS OF AFRICA

BANYAMULENGE TUTSI DESPERATE IN MANY AREAS OF AFRICA

The Issue

The Congolese conflicts between 1964 and today have left the majority of the Banyamulenge Tutsi feeling stateless and in constant fear of persecution.

For decades, these ongoing conflicts have caused million of Banyamulenge to flee across the Congolese border to neighboring countries, among them Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and  some of them desappearing in world.

JC MusorePetition StarterMy name is jean T. and I am a survivor of the 2004 massacre in the Gatumba Refugee Camp in Burundi, and a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, now living in the United States.I will attempt to published these horrible acts committed upon the Banyamulenge people of Congo, even in the refugee camps in Burundi. These violent acts against peaceful non-combatants constituted genocide, and were a clear violation of international law and the UN Convention on Human Rights.
