VOICED : 50 years on, the 1972 massacres still scar Burundi

The video discusses the 1972 massacres in Burundi, focusing on Leticia's personal story of loss and the role of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in uncovering the truth about the ethnic violence. The TRC has exhumed mass graves and declared the events as genocide against the Hutu population. However, there is controversy over this classification, with some accusing the TRC of bias due to its Hutu-dominated membership. The video highlights the ongoing ethnic tensions in Burundi, where narratives of Hutu and Tutsi threats have been historically exploited.
