The Supreme court in Burundi has Tuesday sentenced former President Pierre Buyoya in absentia and 18 others to life imprisonment for their role in the assassination of the country’s first democratically elected President Melchoir Ndadaye.
The 19 were found guilty of carrying out an attacking on the Head of State; an attack against the authority of the State and attempt to bring massacre and devastation to Burundi.
Former Prime Minister Antoine Nduwayo on the other hand was acquitted after court found no evidence that he participated in the crimes.

Mahakama Kuu imemhukumu Rais wa zamani wa nchi hiyo, Pierre Buyoya kifungo cha maisha jela baada ya kukutwa na hatia ya kupanga mauaji ya Rais wa kwanza kuchaguliwa Kidemokrasia, Melchoir Ndadaye
Mbali na Buyoya, Mahakama pia imewahukumu watu wengine 18 waliohushishwa katika kesi hiyo ambapo kati yao watatu wamepewa adhabu ya kutumikia miaka 20 gerezani
Mauaji hayo ya mwaka 1993 yalifuatiwa na miaka kadhaa ya vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe ambavyo vilisababisha watu wapatao 300,000 kupoteza maisha
Ndadaye alimshinda Buyoya katika Uchaguzi wa mwaka 1993, yeye pamoja na baadhi ya Mawaziri wake waliuawa miezi michache baada ya kuapishwa
