This document is an addendum to the second report by the Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in Burundi to the Commission on Human Rights at its fifty­third session. 2. Section A of this addendum contains a number of observations by the Special Rapporteur on the most recent developments in the crisis in Burundi and section B a list of the most significant allegations made to him concerning violations of the right to life and to physical integrity during the past year. A. Observations on the most recent developments in the crisis in Burundi 3. The serious violations of the right to life and to physical integrity listed in this addendum are closely linked to the further developments in the crisis in Burundi caused by the interruption of the transition to democracy following the assassination of President Ndadaye on 21 October 1993, the acts of genocide perpetrated against the Tutsis and the subsequent massacres of Hutus. Nevertheless, the current situation in Burundi and its influence on the human rights situation are closely linked to the resurgence of rebel movements in eastern Zaire and to the return of Burundi and Rwandan refugees to their countries of origin.

  • The CNDD-FDD in Burundi. the Path from Armed to Political Struggle
    This work was carried out with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre, Ottawa, Canada. The CNDD-FDD in Burundi The path from armed to political struggle Willy Nindorera Berghof Transitions Series No. 10 Berghof Transitions Series Resistance/Liberation Movements and Transition to Politics Series editors Véronique Dudouet and Hans J. Giessmann The Berghof Foundation is grateful to acknowledge the project funding generously provided by the International Development Research Center, Ottawa, Canada. About this Publication Series This case-study is one of a series produced by participants in a Berghof research programme on transitions from violence to peace (Resistance and Liberation Movements in Transition). The programme’s overall aim was to learn from the experience of those in resistance or liberation movements who have used violence in their struggle but have also engaged politically during the conflict and in any peace process. Recent experience around the world has demonstrated that reaching political settlement in protracted social conflict always eventually needs the involvement of such movements. Our aim here was to discover how, from a non- state perspective, such political development is handled, what is the relationship between political and military strategies and tactics, and to learn more about how such movements (often sweepingly and simplistically bundled under the label of non-state armed groups) contribute to the transformation of conflict and to peacemaking. We aimed then to use that experiential knowledge (1) to offer support to other movements who might be considering such a shift of strategy, and (2) to help other actors (states and international) to understand more clearly how to engage meaningfully with such movements to bring about political progress and peaceful settlement.
