Libération des pêcheurs pris en otage

Les 28 pêcheurs qui ont été enlevés mardi matin sur le lac Tanganyika ont été libérés sans qu'une rançon ne soit payée, a rapporté mercredi Bonesha, une radio locale du Burundi. Des membres des familles des pêcheurs, cités par la station, ont déclaré à Rumonge qu'ils avaient été libérés mardi soir. Les ravisseurs qui étaient des rebelles des Forces pour la défense de la démocratie (FDD) et des Forces nationales pour la libération (FNL) ont conservé le bateau des pêcheurs ainsi qu'une autre embarcation qui appartenait à l'armée burundaise.
