The attack on two vehicles from the ICRC on June 4, 1996, on the road between the Burundian villages of Rugombo and Mugina, was one of the most blatant contemporary violations of the symbol of the Red Cross.
Subsequent investigations both by journalists present in Cibitoke that day and by the ICRC have established that the Swiss delegates were targeted specifically.
Its staff was consequently witness to massive abuses of the civilian population by both the Tutsi military and Hutu rebels, including mass killings, forced displacement and rape.

 8/2/2005 -- BURUNDI: Farmers decry eviction from forest reserve
BUJUMBURA, 8 February (IRIN) - A group of farmers in Burundi's northwestern province of Cibitoke, who were recently banned from a forest reserve, have appealed to the government to allow them to harvest their crops, their representative said on Monday.
Cibitoke Governor André Niyindereye announced last week the immediate ban on cultivation in the Kibira Forest natural reserve, saying farming had led to the forest's destruction so much that the area "could turn into a desert".
The official said delineation of the country's national parks was carried out in 1980 and those ousted went to Rugombo in Cibitoke, and to other provinces such as Kirundo and Muyinga, but some remained around the reserve.
