The former editor-in-chief of the independent newspaper Iwacu, she is particularly known for being arbitrarily imprisoned by the Burundian government in October 2019, along with three of her colleagues, while reporting on armed clashes between Burundian forces and paramilitary groups from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She was sentenced to two years in prison and was later released before going into exile in Belgium."
