UNITED
NATIONS,
September 6 --
UN Spokesman
Stephane
Dujarric told
Inner City
Press on
August 24 that
Burundian Lt.
Col. Alfred
Mayuyu was
deployed to
the UN
Peacekeeping
Mission in the
Central
African
Republic
(MINUSCA) in
July but is
being
repatriated to
Burundi
effective
immediately. Vine I here.
This followed
Dujarric's
deputy Farhan
Haq on August
5 telling
Inner City
Press that
Mayuyu was not
on “any
roster” of
MINUSCA, video
here.
On September
4, Inner City
Press asked
Dujarric again
about Mayuyu
and was told
he would
"effort" an
answer on
September 6.
So Inner City
Press asked:
From the UN
transcript:
Inner City
Press: I
want to ask
about Burundi
first.
There’s now
reports that
30 political
prisoners,
people accused
of having been
against, for
the rallies
against the
third term
have been
taken out of
the Central
Mpimba Prison
and taken to
an unknown
location.
And I wanted
to know…
there’s a lot
of uproar
about that…
Spokesman:
I haven’t seen
those reports.
ICP
Question:
And on Mr.
Mayuyu, which
I’d asked you
in writing, I
just want to
nail this one
down…
Spokesman:
I’m waiting…
Everybody
wants to nail
everything
down.
I’m waiting
for some
information on
that case,
which I have
not yet
received.
