Until mid-2015, she worked as a political editor at the opposition radio station "Radio Publique Africaine" (RPA). With her research on the human rights violations for which the Burundian government is responsible, but also with her reports on the political and social conditions in neighboring countries, she had made a name for herself as a critical and courageous journalist, and finally had to escape the growing threat in her own country by fleeing to neighboring Rwanda, where she founded an online radio station and an internet news magazine together with colleagues.
