NYAUNG SHWE, Myanmar, 13 October 2008 More than 60 health and livestock professionals are now ready to implement their communication workplan on avian influenza, which was drafted during a recent three-day training session held in Nyaung Shwe Township, Shan State. The plan aims to make a significance contribution towards combating the threat of bird flu here in an area that is at high risk for a potential outbreak. Nyaung Shwe is close to a wetland wildlife sanctuary located on a major north-south migration path for birds. The training was organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, the Ministry of Health, local authorities and UNICEF to equip front frontline communicators with skills in disseminating avian influenza messages to families and community members. UNICEF has been designated as UN focal point for avian influenza risk communication, and the Government of Japan has provided financial support of $1.9 million for this communication effort.

Part 2 of the testimony of Brigitte Kitenge, a survivor of the Rwandan Genocide which claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of Tutsis in 1994, regarding her experience as a survivor of unspeakable human tragedy. Brigitte Kitenge met her husband, Leon, when he left the Congo to teach at a Rwandan university. But the early 1990s was the wrong time to be in love with a young Rwandan woman who was half Hutu and half Tutsi. When the genocide began, most of Brigitte's extended family was massacred. The couple's two daughters had to be told that their mother was dead so that they could not inadvertently reveal her whereabouts as she hid from the roving death squads. Brigitte was pregnant with their third child when they escaped to the Congo, where Leon's family demanded that he put his wife and children aside and marry a Congolese woman. When he refused, they turned the couple away. The Kitenges remained in Congo for a few years while Brigitte had her baby, obtained her masters in business administration and landed a job with a U.S. nonprofit organization. But soon Brigitte was in danger again. Congo was backing the Rwandan government's genocidal war, and Brigitte's contact with Americans made her a particular target. Accused of being a U.S. spy, Brigitte was arrested and tortured by Congolese authorities. She was allowed just a few minutes each evening to breastfeed her third daughter at the prison. Eventually, Brigitte was released. Pregnant now with her fourth child, she fled to Uganda, crossing the border by pretending to be in labor while the driver told border authorities, "The hospital back there is closed! We have to get this woman to the hospital on your side!" Brigitte made it to Uganda with nothing but the clothes on her back. Leon and her daughters joined her a short time later. In this extended interview for youtube, Brigitte gives testimony and tells the full story of her experience and inspiring story of struggle and survival as well as the horrors she witnessed during one of the worst acts of genocide in recent human history.
