Crimes resulting from family feuds remain a serious challenge, making it difficult for security organs to prevent them. However, according to the Minister of Internal Security, Mussa Fazil Harelimana, crimes countrywide have reduced by 4.4 per cent in recent days. The minister made the remarks while launching a report on the security situation during the first quarter of 2013 on Monday.The report cites battering and injuring, drug abuse and trafficking, sexual violence and robbery as the crimes with highest prevalence rate. All these constitute 88 per cent of all the crimes countrywide.Harelimana called for collective responsibility to prevent crimes resulting from family feuds, saying that it becomes hard to detect them without the involvement of neighbours."The problem is that relatives or neighbours have longstanding conflicts and do not report anything to security organs for resolution, thus those conflicts end up in murder,’’ he said, adding that police can not afford to patrol every household.
