Burundi's foreign minister on media and the good story

Burundi's Foreign Minister, Antoinette Batumubwira - herself a journalist - tells how difficult it is to break through with a positive story out of Africa.
She tells you what she thinks should be known about her country and its remarkable peace process.
The video also tells you how TFF is engaged with the Ministry to develop an international communication strategy and what larger goal it serves.
This is one of several videos from Burundi with interviews and documentaries produced by TFF's director Jan Oberg. This interview took place on March 28, 2008 in Bujumbura.

Burundi used to be the "Oasis of Peace". With a little help it can again be. If the world would take more responsibility for helping its starving people and assist it in continuing its remarkable peace process. And here the media could be more helpful, we believe.

An educational video containing also a few facts about this tiny country that deserves both attention and "peace aid" to to stay on the road to peace and reconciliation.
