Burundi, 21st October 1993: the democratically elected President N’Dadaye is assassinated by a group of Tutsi officers.
Another round of reprisals and counter-attacks begins under pressure from the militia and extremist parties who encourage the racial hostilities and fan the flames of terror. There is one pogrom after another, with tens of thousands of people becoming refugees in their own country.
