A minibus on the move in rural Burundi is suddenly stopped by gunmen. These belong to the Hutu and want to separate the Tutsi from among the passengers. The leader orders: “Tutsi to the left, Hutu to the right!” Although obviously not all passengers are Tutsi, all stand on their left side and thus prevent violence against the minority.
