"Mr President, Commissioner, I would like to subscribe to what the previous speakers have said and at the same time express my indignation at and disappointment with our own attitude. We wait until a white person is murdered before we take renewed interest in a conflict in Burundi that has taken so many thousands of people into their graves. I would also like to mention the camps which, in Dutch, we refer to as
” (regrouping camps). This term stands for concentration camps, this is what they really are. In these camps, they section people off based on their ethnic origin so as to facilitate covert genocide. I would therefore urge that the European Union take the situation in Rwanda, Burundi and Congo a great deal more seriously. This week, I heard the advisor of the Council, the High Representative for the common foreign and security policy, and I hope that we will be able, at some stage, to help create for others the stability that we want for ourselves."@en1
