Burundi: Political crisis rages as Tutsi ministers quit

The walkout by the Uprona party members upsets an increasingly delicate power-sharing arrangement between Burundi's majority Hutu and minority Tutsi communities, who are still struggling to reconcile after decades of conflict.

The Uprona party said District Development Minister Jean-Claude Ndihokubwayo, Communications Minister Leocadie Nihaza and Trade Minister Victoire Ndikumana had all quit. "We refuse to cohabit with the ruling party of President Pierre Nkurunziza, which is going out of its way to destroy us," Uprona spokesman Tatien Sibomana told AFP.

A foreign diplomat, who asked not to be named, warned that the crisis could escalate. "The situation is very worrying, because an attack on Uprona is an attack on the Tutsi community," said the diplomat. "The frightening thing is that a lot of people consider that the ruling party has broken the delicate balance put in place in this country, and that is extremely serious."
