Vancouver's Robson Square Ice Rink opens PHOTOS Vancouver salmon researcher receives national nod Attorney General Sylvestre Nyandwi said the suspects allegedly were involved in the planning and execution of the killing of Melchior Ndadaye in 1993, according to Vancouver Courier. It sparked a civil war between the East African nation's two dominant ethnic groups, the Hutu and Tutsi, in which an estimated 300,000 people died. At the top of the list is former president Pierre Buyoya, now the high representative of the African Union. Regarded by many in Burundi as the hero of democracy and the country's first elected Hutu leader, Ndadaye was killed in an attempted coup by hard-line Tutsi soldiers four months after Buyoya, a Tutsi, stepped down. In events marking 25 years since the assassination in October, Burundi's justice minister told lawmakers that those suspected had held powerful positions for many years, delaying efforts at accountability. Buyoya, who ruled Burundi from 1987 to 1993 and from 1996 to 2005, has denied any role in the killing. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
