Burundi should move hundreds of Rwandan asylum seekers from the border after they fled into the country because of fears of traditional community courts that are trying people accused of participating in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, a U.N. official said Tuesday, the AP repoted. Some 5,000 Rwandan asylum seekers are living along the border with Rwanda, said Catherine Lune Grayson, a spokeswoman for the United Nations' refugee agency in Burundi. Most of the asylum seekers are from Rwanda's Hutu ethnic majority, officials said. More than 500,000 minority Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus were killed in the 100-day genocide in 1994 in Rwanda. At least 760,000 Rwandans accused of crimes during the genocide are to be tried by the newly established community courts, known as Gacaca. --More 2328 Local Time 2028 GMT
