<span class="mu-i">"I am here reporting nearby the DRC / Burnudi border after what has been some of the most sudden and drastic violence I have ever seen in my years as a war correspondent."</span>
<span class="mu-i">"Hutu militia groups on both sides of the border have reportedly clashed with an unknown group, which they outnumbered and besieged from all sides."</span>
The reporter and the camera shift to show a warehouse full of Hutu prisoners under armed guard, likely by the Burundi military. The captives all seem to be sick and weary, and plenty of them are wounded.
<span class="mu-i">"According to witnesses and the Hutu militias themselves, the attacking group filled the surrounding area with smoke and made it difficult to see them. They fought the enemy militias for hours and hours, until the militias began to run low on ammo.. At which time they began to tear-gas the militias and spray them with bullets. Assault after assault by the militias resulted in piles of dead and puking combatants, and hundreds of child soldiers fleeing in disarray from the chaos."</span>
The camera pivots again and at the doorway soldiers are taking more scared and confused militia members, who are unharmed, dirty, and wounded. The militia members seem to be pleading.
<span class="mu-i">"My translator tells me these militia men are pleading for their lives and asking that they not have to face the 'gas kommandos' as they call the unknown group."</span>
