Subject: Re: [fondationbanyarwanda] Re: *DHR* Re: Burundi:l'ex-président Pierre Buyoya contre un 3ème mandat
Fellow citizen Martin,
L'objectif de ma reaction etait de mettre en exergue l'idee de Semakweli que je trouve fondee comme quoi "Si on n'avait pas assassine le president Melchior Ndadaye, le Burundi n'en serait pas la".
Qui l'a assassine? L'ancien president Buyoya, le partron du FPR Paul Kagame, et le president Museveni.
Que se passe-t-il aujourd'hui? C'est toujours eux, les memes Kagame Buyoya Museveni qui sement la zizanie et la confusion dans la region. Qui a aide Radjabu a s'evader de prison et ou est-il? En Tanzanie? Non. Il a fait son premier coup de frein a Kigali et fait depuis la navette entre Kigali et Kampala. Kagame et Museveni veulent installer a Bujumura un president a leur solde.
Les membres du CNDD-FDD devraient rester vigilents, s'appliquer desormais a resoudre rapidement et d'une facon responsable leurs differends internes et presenter au peuple Burundais un seul candidat sorti de leurs rangs pour Juin 2015 qu'il soit Nkurunziza au cas ou le fait que sa 1ere election n'etait pas au sufrage universaire serait valide, ou quelqu'un d'autre. (Gasana Anastase, president de parti rwandais des moderes-Abasangizi, un parti politique qui prone un partage du pouvoir reel et sincere entre tous les fils et filles du Rwanda sans exclusion et sans discriminatipon aucune).
