The suspect on the run is named Bernard Nibizi, responsible for Imbonerakure in the new Musongati commune.

“Bernard Niyibizi fled to the United Republic of Tanzania,” said a source within the CNDD-FDD.

Another source indicates instead that Bernard Nibizi hid at the home of Sylvain Nzikoruriho, provincial secretary of the CNDD-FDD in the new Burunga province.

In the Giharo commune, young Josué is the seventh person killed by members of the CNDD-FDD youth league. Residents demand exemplary sanctions.
