The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Burundi today offered its condolences to the family of a staff member who was shot to death on Saturday night in the capital Bujumbura.

Abdoulaye Maiga, 33, a Senegalese national who worked as an official volunteer with the UN Operation in Burundi (known by its French acronym ONUB), was married and had two children.

In a statement issued in Bujumbura, ONUB said it was investigating the details of Mr. Maiga's death and urged the Burundian authorities to do everything they could to bring the perpetrators of the killing to justice.
