Grenades are exploding in crowded city centers. including one which recently blew up a bus. and another which killed many civilians in a schoolyard. Scores of civilians have been murdered. and a Hutu provincial Governor. Fidele Muhezi. was assassinated on January 26. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says that over 60.000 people have fled to Tanzania. including 30.000 last week alone. These are tragedies in any context. In Burundi. they bear eerie resemblances to what happened in neighboring Rwanda in April of last year. which of course exploded in the bloodiest genocide ever recorded. in real time. on television.
