Undi muturage w’umubyeyi, Claudine Ngo Ndimba, yavuze ko atakijya mu kazi kubera ibitero n’ubwoba bw’uko “abasirikare bashobora gufata buri wese.”

Abashinzwe umutekano, nk’uko Reuters ibivuga, bavuga ko hari “udutsiko tw’abasore twashutswe n’abatavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi ngo tujye mu myigaragambyo bityo duteye umutekano muke, dufite ibiyobyabwenge”, nyamara nta gihamya kiratangwa kuri ibyo bivugwa.

Uretse u Bufaransa, ibihugu nka Canada, u Budage n’Umuryango w’Ubumwe bw’u Burayi (EU) nabyo byamaganye ihohoterwa rikorerwa abigaragambya, bisaba ko habaho “ibiganiro by’ukuri” hagati ya leta n’abatavuga rumwe nayo.
