BURUNDI TRIBAL SLAUGHTER GOES ON: THE EXTERMINATION OF HUTU
MALES WITH ANY SEMBLANCE OF AN EDUCATION SEEMS TO BE CONTINUING
IN BURUNDI. HOPES THAT UN EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH A HUMANITARIAN
PRESENCE IN BURUNDI WOULD INFLUENCE THE TUTSI GOVERNMENT TO STOP
THE REPRESSION HAVE NOT YET MATERIALIZED. AMONG THE AFRICANS,
ONLY PRESIDENT MOBUTU HAS SHOWN ANY SORT OF READINESS TO INVOLVE

ACTION TO SAVE BURUNDI'S HUTUS. AS FOR OURSELVES, WE ARE
ASSISTING REFUGEE EFFORTS IN ZAIRE, RWANDA AND TANZANIA AS
WELL AS CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES IN BURUNDI, WHICH REPORTEDLY
HAS ACCESS TO ALL THE POPULATION. (RONDON)
