The United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Adviser for the Prevention of Genocide has warned that unless there is space for greater freedom in Burundi, “the worst could happen” ahead of elections next year.
Adama Dieng, who was speaking at a UN-backed Rwandan genocide tribunal in Tanzania, said "the forces of evil must not be allowed to push certain actors toward criminal violence."
"The best way to halt this violence is to bring all political players together to talk. If not, the worst could happen," continued Dieng.
"Today no state can use its sovereignty in order to quietly commit murder," he added.
