布隆迪要求遣返20万坦桑尼亚难民

Burundi plans to begin the repatriation of 200,000 of its refuges who fled to neighbouring Tanzania to escape the violence that rocked the country since 2015.

布隆迪计划开始遣返逃往邻国坦桑尼亚的20万难民，这些难民是为了逃离自2015年以来该国的暴力震荡。

More than 400,000 Burundians fled their country to Tanzania, Rwanda and the Democratic R|epublic of Congo after the violence that rocked the country.

40多万布隆迪人在暴力事件发生后逃往坦桑尼亚、卢旺达和刚果民主共和国。

The violence was sparked by political disagreements caused by a declaration by President Pierre Nkurunziza that he would seek a third term in office, one which he went on to win in July 2015.

引发暴力的原因是，总统皮埃尔·恩库伦齐扎(Pierre Nkurunziza)宣布将寻求第三个任期，由此引发的政治分歧。2015年7月，恩库伦齐扎赢得了第三个任期。

Burundi and Tanzania reached an agreement over the weekend that will see the former begin repatriating its citizens starting 1 October, according to the Interior Minister in Bujumbura, Pascal Barandagiye.

据布琼布拉的内政部长帕斯卡·巴兰达吉耶(Pascal Barandagiye)说，布隆迪和坦桑尼亚周末达成协议，将从10月1日开始遣返布隆迪公民。

Both sides say Burundi is peaceful now and safe for a return of the refugees.

双方都表示，布隆迪目前处于和平状态，难民可以安全返回。

According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Burundian refugees who want to return to their country should do so voluntarily.

根据联合国难民事务高级专员办事处(UNHCR)的说法，布隆迪难民想要返回他们的国家应该出于自愿。

The agency said in a statement that around 75,000 Burundians had returned home in the past two years, adding: “We are assisting refugees who indicate they have made a free and informed choice to voluntarily return.”

该机构在一份声明中说，在过去两年中，大约有7.5万布隆迪人已经返回家园，并补充说:“我们正在帮助那些表明他们已经作出自由和知情的选择自愿返回家园的难民。”

The East African country is set to hold its presidential election next year. President Nkurunziza announced in June 2018 that he would not be seeking another mandate.

这个东非国家定于明年举行总统选举。恩库伦齐扎总统在2018年6月宣布，他不会寻求另一项授权。
