The success of the referendum in Burundi has been overshadowed by the killing of the 13 peacekeepers in Ituri region in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). What are we to make of these two events that have occurred within a few kilometers of each other? Is this the African Continent once again being plunged into chaos or are we finally witnessing a change towards democratic governance, peace and stability? What will the media show the rest of the world? The dead bodies of the peacekeepers or the jubilant faces of war wearied Burundians rejoicing at the prospect of finally getting a chance to live in peace?
