SENIOR FNL COMMANDANT ARRESTED BY GOVERNMENT FORCES - A MAJOR BLOW TO THE FNL - JUSTICE FOR GATUMBA?
"Aloys Nzabampema a été capturé dans la nuit du 6 au 7 novembre chez un ancien député à Bujumbura. C'est une prise de très grande importance parce que cet homme est le commandant de la première région militaire des FNL", a déclaré jeudi à la presse le porte-parole de l'armée, le major Adolphe Manirakiza.
This campaign congratulates the Burundian government for a decisive first step towards justice. We urge that Nzabampema be tried promptly and fairly, and that he be treated humanely.
As the FNL's Chief of Operations around Bujumbura, a job held by Agathon Rwasa until he became overall leader, Nzabampema is implicated in war crimes and crimes against humanity, which include the systematic killing of civilians, the forcible recruitment of child soldiers, torture, the theft and destruction of civilian property. If he was in the job on August 13th 2004, then he will also have had command responsibility for the troops who carried out the Gatumba attack.
Is Rwasa's house of cards beginning to fall?
