Les administrateurs sensibilisés à la mise en place des CLACs dans leurs communes

Le Ministère en charge de la jeunesse, de la culture et du sport à travers le centre burundais pour la lecture et l’animation culturelle (CEBULAC) a organisé mardi 20 décembre 2022, une rencontre d’échanges au chef-lieu de la province Gitega avec les administrateurs des communes qui ne sont pas dotées de centre de lecture et d’animation culturelle (CLAC).Objectif : les sensibiliser sur la mise en place de ces centres car c’est un programme du gouvernement burundais en vue de promouvoir la culture traditionnelle du pays.

Dans son discours, le directeur général du CEBULAC Sébastien Ntahongendera qui a représenté le ministre ayant la culture dans ses attributions a indiqué que le rôle des administratifs pour que ces programmes du gouvernement soient effectifs est incontournable.

Le Directeur Général du CEBULAC a fait savoir que les défis ne manquent pas dans ce secteur entre autres celui lié au manque de moyens financiers suite au coût exorbitant des livres de lecture etc.

Le Directeur du CEBULAC Sébastien Ntahongendera a rappelé que le premier Centre de Lecture et l’Animation Culturelle (CLAC) a été établi au Burundi en 1992 à Kibumbu en province de Mwaro et aujourd’hui, 51 CLACs sont établis dans 50 communes du pays.

Acquittement de Tony Germain Nkina et de son client

L’avocat et défenseur des droits de l’homme, Tony Germain Nkina, et son client, Apollinaire Hitimana, ont été acquittés par la Cour d’appel de Ngozi, ce 20 décembre 2022. « Bonne nouvelle ! Heureuse et soulagée d’apprendre que Tony Germain Nkina, avocat et ancien défenseur des droits humains, a été acquitté ce matin, après plus de 2 ans d’emprisonnement injuste au Burundi. On espère qu’il sera vite libéré. », a écrit sur son compte Twitter Clémentine de Montjoye, chercheuse à Human Right Watch (HRW).

L’Initiative pour les droits humains au Burundi (IDHB) se dit également soulagée.  « Un grand merci à tous ceux qui ont contribué à la campagne pour sa libération. Une merveilleuse nouvelle, enfin. »

Me Nkina a été arrêté le 13 octobre 2020 sur la colline Tondero, dans la commune de Kabarore en province de Kayanza alors qu’il rendait visite à un client, Apollinaire Hitimana, pour le conseiller dans un dossier foncier, dans le contexte de son travail d’avocat. Il a été détenu dans un premier temps à Kabarore avant d’être emmené au Service national de renseignement (SNR) à Kayanza. Il est ensuite transféré au cachot de la police à Kayanza et le 16 octobre 2020, il est emprisonné à la prison de Ngozi.

Un dossier a été ouvert au parquet de Kayanza et Me Nkina a été accusé de collaboration avec les groupes rebelles. Le 15 juin 2021, le Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) de Kayanza l’a déclaré coupable d’« atteinte à l’intégrité du territoire national » et l’a condamné à 5 ans d’emprisonnement et une amende d’un million de BIF.

Le 16 juillet 2021, Me Nkina a interjeté appel auprès de la Cour d’appel de Ngozi. Le 29 septembre 2021, cette cour a confirmé le jugement du TGI. L’avocat a fait recours à la Cour suprême. Le 6 décembre 2022, la Cour suprême a cassé le jugement et renvoyé le dossier à la Cour d’appel de Ngozi.

Après quelques mois d’accalmie : Enième pénurie du carburant

La pénurie du carburant refait surface à Bujumbura la capitale économique depuis quelques jours. Lassés de passer des jours à faire la queue devant les stations-services, les conducteurs en mairie de Bujumbura révèlent que les policiers empirent la situation en créant du désordre sur les stations-service. Dans son communiqué de presse, le ministère de l’Energie a promis une disponibilité du carburant sous peu.

10h sur le boulevard Mwezi Gisabo. Une longue file d’attente des véhicules venus chercher du carburant se fait remarquer depuis l’entrée du campus Kamenge jusqu’au station-service Interpetrol de Kigobe. Une autre longue file de véhicules s’observe aussi devant la station-service Lybajas Oil du même quartier.

Même situation sur la station Mogas située sur le blvd de l’Uprona. Des policiers essaient, tant bien que mal, à ranger les véhicules garés de part et d’autre de la rue. Des efforts jugés insignifiants par les conducteurs.

Célestin, un des conducteurs, a témoigné que ce sont ces policiers qui sèment le désordre sur les stations-service. « Ils font passer des véhicules devant les autres à cause des pots-de-vin qu’on leur donne ». Il a précisé que ce pot-de-vin varie d’une personne à une autre.

Richard, conducteur de taxi, a déploré d’énormes manque à gagner qui ne cessent de s’encaisser.

« Ma voiture est à sec depuis jeudi passée, et je viens de passer une nuit devant cette station ». Et de s’interroger comment il va nourrir sa famille, surtout en cette période des fêtes de fin d’année.

Désemparés, ces conducteurs ont demandé au président de la République d’en finir avec cette pénurie. « Un seul importateur ne suffit pas pour toutes les voitures que comptent le pays. Il faut qu’il y ait beaucoup d’importateurs de carburant », a ajouté Richard.

Dans son communiqué de presse sorti ce 20 décembre, le ministère de l’Energie et des Mines a expliqué cette pénurie par des problèmes logistiques. « Ce produit sera disponible sous peu au même titre que le gasoil » a-t-il promis.

ROSEN, A LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Olaplex Holdings, Inc. Investors With Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – OLPX

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Olaplex Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OLPX) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering conducted in September 2021 (the “IPO”), of the important January 17, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Olaplex securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Olaplex class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=10056 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 17, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate Olaplex’s IPO contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and was not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing its preparation. Specifically, the offering documents made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) macro-economic pressures and competition in the haircare market were more robust than Olaplex had represented to investors; (2) accordingly, Olaplex was unlikely to maintain its sales and revenue momentum; (3) as a result, it was unlikely that Olaplex would be able to achieve the financial and operational growth projected in the offering documents; and (4) as a result, the offering documents were materially false and/or misleading and failed to state information required to be stated therein.

To join the Olaplex class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=10056 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) it was not a “one-stop-shop” for cancer testing because it did not offer the most technologically advanced NGS tests, which led to a significant decrease in revenue as current and prospective customers went elsewhere for their testing needs; (2) costs were not fixed because NeoGenomics needed to hire additional employees to process more complex customized testing demanded by customers utilizing the Company’s outdated portfolio of tests, leading to operational challenges, decrease lab efficiency, and increased testing turnaround times; and as a result (3) NeoGenomics violated federal healthcare laws and regulations related to fraud, waste, and abuse. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
