Summary of Oral History

In 1972, Jumayine Gahutu said he heard reports on the radio about the violent attacks happening in Bujumbura. According to Gahutu, people began to speculate that it was only a matter of time until the mascaras made their way through Muyinga. Gahutu said the military would grab male Hutus out of their homes, tie their hands behind their back, and throw them onto a truck. He explained that the victims were then taken to prison to be killed, and their corpses were tossed into a river or dumped into a mass grave. After the bodies were disposed of, Gahutu said the militia would come back to cease all property and vehicles. When violence erupted again in 1993, Gahutu fled to Tanzania for refuge.
