The office of the district administrator under siege
This Saturday, the victim’s relatives and neighbors besieged the office of the district administrator in Ngozi to demand justice.
“The administrator seemed to ignore their grievances”, regrets a civil servant in Ngozi. Local authorities were not available to respond to the allegations.
