Tutsi/Hima du clan Badanda, né dans la commune de Matana dans la province de Bururi, Simbananiye émerge comme le chef de file du « lobby » Bururi au début des années 1970. Ministre de la Justice en 1971, il met en scène les parodies de procès de plusieurs hommes politiques Tutsis d’origines Banyaruguru suspects de sympathies monarchistes. Décrit comme un homme « au cynisme, à la cruauté et à l’ambition sans bornes » (Remarques Africaines, 1972), il est considéré comme le principal architecte du massacre de Hutus de 1972.

Born in the commune of Rutovu, in Bururi province, Micombero served as President of Burundi’s First Republic (1966-1977), until his overthrow by Jean-Baptiste Bagaza, also from Bururi. Before he seized power from Mwami Ntare on November 28, 1966, Captain Micombero combined the functions of Prime Minister and Minister of Defense under Mwami Ntare’s short-lived government (July 8-November 28, 1966).

Also known by the dynastic name of Ntare, the younger son of king (mwami) Mwambutsa, ascended to the Mwamiship in September 1966. His coronation brought to an end the long interregnum caused by Mwambutsa’s flight from Bujumbura after the botched up Hutu-sponsored coup of October 19, 1965. Not until March 24, 1966 did Mwambutsa acknowledge the shortcomings of government by remote control; on that day he issued a royal decree entrusting Prince Charles Ndizeye “social powers to coordinate and control the activities of the government and the Secretariats of State”.

A leading member of the Bururi group, of the Basapfu clan, he served as Chief of Staff in 1967, and as Minister of Interior and Justice after the government reshuffling of March 1971. Thanks to his strategic connections within and outside the army, he emerged as one of the most influential politicians during the years preceding the genocide.

A Tutsi/Hima of the Babanda clan, born in the commune of Matana, in Bururi province, Simbananiye emerged as a leading figure of the so-called Bururi “lobby” in the early 1970s. As Minister of Justice in 1971, he staged the parody of justice that presided over the trial of several high-ranking Tutsi politicians of Banyaruguru origins suspected of monarchist sympathies.

The Burundi Killings of 1972

Lemarchand René

In the spring of 1972 the small (10,747 sq miles), overpopulated (7 million), poverty-stricken State of Burundi experienced massive bloodletting. Burundi’s agonies did not begin nor end with what is sometimes referred to in Burundi as ikiza, the “scourge”. Nonetheless, there is nothing in the country’s turbulent history comparable to the scale of the 1972 killings.
