Happy Easter from all of us at Hallow. Today we celebrate the greatest miracle and gift that God could ever give: the resurrection of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. We’re always grateful to be on this journey with you to grow closer to God, but especially today, on this day of joy, salvation, and renewal, we’re incredibly blessed & honored to pray with you.

Jesus is alive! And He is here with us, today on Easter and also in every moment of our lives, at every step in our journeys. So let’s pray, rejoice, and follow His call to, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15)

Victims of an armed attack on a refugee camp in Burundi and their families are still waiting for justice and compensation 18 years later. The attack on the Gatumba refugee camp in Burundi killed more than 160 Congolese civilians and wounded another 106.
A criminal case was opened in 2013 but stalled in 2014 and has not resumed since. The Burundian authorities should guarantee that the judiciary remains independent from political interference and ensure that justice is delivered in accordance with Burundian and international law.
The government has a responsibility to deliver justice to survivors and victims’ families,” said Lewis Mudge, Central Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Ending impunity for this benchmark case would help bring closure after years of suffering for those affected by the attack and would demonstrate that accountability is taken seriously in Burundi.”
On August 13, 2004, members of the National Forces of Liberation (Forces nationales de libération, FNL) targeted mostly Banyamulenge refugees – Congolese Tutsi from the province of South Kivu, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo – based on their ethnicity. The FNL, a predominantly Hutu Burundian rebel movement, shot and burned them to death, while sparing refugees from other ethnic groups and Burundians living in another part of the camp.

The Massacre

On August 13, 2004, members of the National Forces of Liberation Forces nationales de libération, ( FNL) targeted mostly Banyamulenge refugees – Congolese Tutsi from the province of South Kivu, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo – based on their ethnicity. The FNL, a predominantly Hutu Burundian rebel movement, shot and burned them to death.

The Mission

One of two FNL leaders against whom Burundian authorities issued arrest warrants in 2004 concerning the killings was Agathon Rwasa, who remains a prominent opposition figure. Rwasa was never arrested under the warrant and judicial authorities announced in September 2013 that a case was opened to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gatumba. Rwasa asserted that as a former leader of the Palipehutu-FNL, he benefits from the “provisional immunity” awarded under the 2006 ceasefire agreement that helped end the civil war. The spokesperson of the prosecution service at the time told the media that “this immunity does not cover crimes against humanity and war crimes.
