Burundi: Batwa youth want more access to land, education and health

Youth representatives of the Batwa, a group of indigenous people found across central Africa, have asked the governments of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda to ensure they get equal access to land, education and health as other ethnic groups in these countries. The representatives, who have been meeting in the Burundian capital, Bujumbura, since Monday, said they planned to empower Batwa youth to protect themselves.
