In a recent press statement, Matthew Miller, the Department Spokesperson for the United States, expressed deep concern over remarks made by President Ndayishimiye that appeared to target specific vulnerable and marginalized groups in Burundi.
The United States is urging all leaders in Burundi to uphold the inherent dignity and inalienable rights of every member of the society, emphasizing the importance of equal access to justice.
The statement underscores that respecting these fundamental rights is not only a moral imperative but also a crucial step towards fostering the economic growth necessary to enhance the overall conditions for all Burundians. The U.S. stance reflects a commitment to promoting human rights and equality in the region, urging leaders to work towards a more inclusive and just society in Burundi.
