Loss, part 1 of 3
It’s barely November and I know what this year’s theme is going to be…loss. The losses of David Bowie and Gene Wilder and Prince, sure, I mourned with my friends, in much the same way I mourned Brexit with my British … Continue reading

Remembering/Se souvenir de Jean Bigirimana
A painful-to-read but important bilingual appeal from my former colleagues at Iwacu for the return of the abducted journalist Jean Bigirimana: http://www.iwacu-burundi.org/des-mots-pour-jean/ UPDATE: Reporters Without Borders has launched a bilingual petition calling for an independent official investigation into Jean … Continue reading
Hommage à Jean Bigirimana
Je n’ai jamais pensé avoir besoin de partager un texte comme ça. Pas au Burundi. On n’était pas en Russie, on n’était pas au Mexique, on n’était pas au Soudan. J’étais énergisée par l’audace de mes collègues. Les journalistes … Continue reading
Bélinda Munyana, 1987-2016

Back to Earth/Isanganiro update

IWACU ciblé
Mon ex-patron Antoine Kaburahe du Journal Iwacu, le plus récent journaliste d’enquête burundais a être interpellé, tiré devant la justice, malmené et rélâché comme un chat errant que des garçons de 11 ans sont tannés à jouer avec. La personne … Continue reading
