  1. “Mr. Maniratanga (Burundi) (spoke in French): The delegation of Burundi would like to congratulate you, Madam President, on the manner in which you and the Albanian delegation have conducted the presidency of the Security Council in this month of June. Since the beginning of the month, we have borne witness to the importance of the points that the presidency has addressed. My delegation would like to thank Ms.”

  2. “In conclusion, Burundi will spare no effort to bring about peace and development in the subregion and is actively preparing to take over, in 2023, the rotating presidency of the Regional Oversight Mechanism under the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Region.”

  3. “They are so well supported in this that Burundi has just held a continental dialogue on youth, peace and security, with the participation of Youth Ambassadors for Peace of the African Union, the African Union Commission Special Envoy on Youth and members of the Group of Experts of the African Union Peace and Security Council. The dialogue was endorsed by the Bujumbura Declaration on Youth, Peace and Security. All the young people who participated virtually and in person in that dialogue saw that Burundian youth should be used as a model for all young people in Africa. We therefore categorically reject the information contained in those paragraphs, which is the result of political manipulation by the opposition in exile.”

  4. “We take this opportunity to bring to the attention of the members of the Security Council and the international community that the integration model for Burundian youth, through the cooperatives initiated by the Government of Burundi, is being facilitated by the creation of the Youth Investment Bank and a women’s investment bank, which has led to the positive result of a massive urban exodus, with young people leaving cities for villages and creating cooperative development associations, devising projects and benefiting from the funding provided by the Youth Investment Bank. Young people in Burundi are operating within the framework of development, not within the framework of what is mentioned in paragraph 13 of the report before us today.”

  5. “It cooperates with other terrorist groups, in particular the Allied Democratic Forces, and poses a threat to peace and security not only in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo but also in the subregion as a whole. The armed terrorist group RED Tabara has crossed the Congo border several times to conduct terrorist acts in Burundi, including the throwing of grenades at innocent civilians in urban areas, the theft of property and deadly ambushes against the vehicles of defenceless civilian passengers. Thirdly, as regards young people, it is very surprising to hear talk of their presence in the Imbonerakure in the Democratic Republic of the Congo at a time when Burundi is considered to be a model of the successful integration of youth with a view to their empowerment.”

  6. “Nonetheless, Burundi would like to state most formally that it did not deploy its army in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Burundi welcomes the communiqué issued by the summit of Heads of State of the East African Community and calls on all negative forces, including RED Tabara, to lay down their arms and to repatriate to their countries of origin. Secondly, the RED Tabara terrorist group, based in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which emerged after the failed coup d’état in 2015 in Burundi, has members who wear the uniforms of various armies in our region, obtained in a variety of ways.”

  7. “While welcoming regional cooperation in the area of intelligence and the recommendations that came out of the Bujumbura meeting on national intelligence services, my delegation calls on the international community to become more involved in achieving peace and development in the Great Lakes region. Regarding paragraphs 13 and 14 of the Secretary- General’s report (S/2022/276), the delegation of Burundi refutes the allegations contained in paragraph 13 alluding to the presence of elements of the Burundi National Defence Force and members of Imbonerakure in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I should like to make three remarks in that respect concerning that paragraph. Burundi did not formally react to that information because it does not deem it advisable to react to any and all provocations and rumours that surface on social networks.”

  8. “Mr. Maniratanga (Burundi) (spoke in French): The delegation of Burundi welcomes the holding of this important meeting and would like to thank the President of the Security Council for the month of April for having convened this meeting. The delegation of Burundi commends the Independent Expert on the Great Lakes region, Mr. Dinesh Mahtani; Mr. João Samuel Caholo, Executive Secretary of the International Conference on the Great Lakes region; and the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for their briefings. We especially welcome the active involvement of the Special Envoy and his commitment to facilitating cooperation and development in the Great Lakes region.”

  9. “The participatory process in its drafting predisposes the region to obtain very positive results and, in the end, to restore peace and security to it. We therefore support all the efforts of the Special Envoy and call upon the international community to also provide assistance so that his action plan can be easily implemented. Before concluding, we would like to promote the Burundian model of reconciliation for a lasting peace. We would also like to inform Council members that Burundi is willing not only to contribute to peace operations missions but also to serve in rapprochement processes or in good offices missions to try to use its peace-restoration model not just in the subregion, but wherever the need for it arises.”

  10. “But it should also be noted that climate change is likely to negatively affect all peace efforts by the United Nations, the African Union and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region. All efforts should therefore be focused on the search for funding. We welcome the efforts made by the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, which is based in Bujumbura, to stabilize the region. Accordingly, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General of the United Nations for all the work he is doing to achieve lasting peace in the Great Lakes region. In particular, we welcome the approach that has been used to develop the regional strategy and its action plan.”

  11. “We take this opportunity to inform the Security Council that Burundi has returned to peace and security and that the Government that emerged from the 2020 elections has put in place a national programme to capitalize on peace and social stability and promote economic growth, a programme that is inspired by the 2018-2027 national development plan, which focuses mainly on the six main priorities of the President of the Republic, namely, good governance, public health, agriculture and livestock, youth employability, social protection, and peace and national reconciliation. One of the major problems in the Great Lakes region is the lack of funding to support economic development programmes. We would like such funding, as there is a very strong link between peace and development in the region.”

  12. “Mr. Maniratanga (Burundi) (spoke in French): First of all, I would like to congratulate you, Madam President, on the way in which you are presiding over this meeting. At the same time, I would like to convey the apologies of His Excellency Mr. Albert Shingiro, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation of the Republic of Burundi, who was prevented at the last minute from attending today’s debate. We would particularly like to thank Kenya for convening this very important meeting. We would also like to thank all the States members of the Security Council for having removed Burundi from the Council’s agenda.”
