Ku itariki 11 ngo basirikare bakimara kugaba icyo gitero, ngo byahise bigaragara ko abasirikare aho kurinda abaturage, ahubwo ari bo bafashe iya mbere mu kwica Abatutsi.
Ngo abasirikare bajyaga mu biturage bakica abantu bagaruka mu kigo ngo bakivuga imyato y’Abatutsi bishe.
Nubwo yari umusirikare, avuga ko yabonaga ibikorwa akumva biramubabaje akumva ari akarengane gakomeye, ashaka uburyo yazajya agerageza uwo abashije kurokora akamurokora, ati “nashatse uburyo nashaka abantu ni yo yaba n’umwe nkareba uburyo nabafasha uburyo nabahungisha nkabageza i Burundi. Ntabwo byari byoroshye kubona umusirikare ukomoka mu Ruhengeri wambaye imyenda ya gisirikare ufite n’imbunda kugira ngo agere imbere y’umututsi ashaka kumuhungisha ntabwo byari ikintu cyoroshye.”
Avuga ko hari umusirikare umwe wamwemereye ko agize umuntu yabona yamuzana akamufasha umuhisha ngo kuko yabaga hanze y’ikigo.
Avuga ko yaje kubona umwana umwe amuraza mu rugo rwa wa musirikare, nyuma aza kuhamukura mugitondo cya kare yanga ko bashobora kumwica. Ahita amwimurira mu rundi rugo i Mayange mu muryango bagira icyo bapfana.

Tariki ya 13 Mata ngo yaje kubona abandi 18, biyongera kuri wa mwana we n’undi musirikare umwe babajyana i Burundi barokoka batyo.
Ku wa 16 Mata, avuye i Burundi ngo yahuye n’interahamwe zimereye nabi umukecuru wari uhetse umwana zishaka kumwica, azisaba ko bamumuha ababeshya ko aza kumwiyicira, birangira na we amwambukije umupaka amujyana i Burundi.
