I am utterly shocked and disgusted by the shootings and killings in Burundi. Here's a link to the story that made my stomach turn:

Of course, right when I heard this news (thanks to my best friend who texted me. She saw it in the Metro newspaper, which I couldn't believe at first, because Burundi never makes the news out here. Some people don't even know that Burundi's a country!) I had to email some people back there to see what the news and this is what Anseleme wrote me (the head of the school I volunteered at)
Dear Anna,
... We were all shocked about the killing of 39 persons including
children... an armed group shutted on the people in a bar which is in
a city after the bridge going to RD Congo boarder not far of Pinacle
19 (where you did SPA). We do not know what is that group and why they
kill innocent people. That happen on sunday arround 8:00pm.
Children included... are you kidding me??? That country is trying so hard to change for a better future, and cowards, total COWARDS do this... what kind of world do we live in?
