inquiry has been requested corporation with but we've never in fact had to eat we've not been allowed to visit the country and nor have they replied to and you've got requests for information from them well how did you manage to put this report together then how does one work under such circumstances. it makes it more difficult but it does the finitely not make it impossible we had access to very many people outside burundi and of course with modern means of communication we have also had interviews with people who are still in burundi the commission of inquiry has interviewed more than $1500.00 witnesses during the course of this mandate including $300.00 witnesses just this past year. given the fact that burundi has been ignoring the international community of a so long do you have any hope that this report might change anything will have any

any influence at all. we had a hope that with the elections that would offer an opportunity to burundi to change direction and you went with a change of direction you don't have to take any position on what has just passed but an election gives you a turning point transition and then we've been disappointed there were fine words from the incoming president on the need to reconcile the population on the need to address impunity and he's opened up for example access to the world health organization but to date once he's willing to talk to others we haven't seen any change in the behavior and what is somewhat surprising is some of the changes very easy to make and don't cost anything no to stop carrying out torture or you need to do is to stop doing it similarly to release prisoners who shouldn't have

been detained in the 1st place that easy and yet even those simple things have to be done and what is really striking is that he has appointed to high positions in his cabinet 3 people who are under sanction from the e.u. and or the u.s. for their alleged participation in human rights violations since 2015 it's a strange act for someone who's keen on reconciliation to put 3 alleged senior violators in his government france a handsome there and then that u.n. commission for inquiry on burundi and he was one of the authors of that report thank you so much for being with us once well thank you now a state of imagine seeing has been declared in alabama florida and mississippi after hurricane sandy cost catastrophic flooding there for months where the rain has dumped on parts of florida and just 4 alice hundreds of americans have now been rescued and at least half
