Summary The government of Burundi and the rebel group, the Forces for the Defence of Democracy (FDD) signed the Pretoria Protocols on October 8 and November 2, 2003, agreeing yet again to end a civil war that has continued for ten years. Combatants of the two forces generally observed a ceasefire throughout October and in some places even shared beer or food as proof of their new camraderie. But, as of early November, peace remained a hope rather than a reality, in part because some important questions, such as the composition of the rank and file of the new national army, remained unresolved. In addition, a second rebel group, the Forces for National Liberation (FNL), vehemently rejectednegotiations with the government and, since early September, clashed also with the FDD. From Bujumbura Rural and neighbouring parts of the provinces of Bubanza and Muramvya, the two rebel forces have fought in some districts of the capital of Bujumbura, each hunting down those who supposedly supported the rival movement. Once the FDD joins the government, as provided by the Pretoria Protocols, the government will include the largely Tutsi Uprona party and two predominantly Hutu parties, the Frodebu and the FDD. Despite the multiethnic nature of the government, the Hutu FNL persists in defining the war in ethnic terms, treating the Tutsi as its real enemy and the Hutu members of government as mere pawns of the Tutsi. During recent fighting, government soldiers and rebels have been responsible for deliberate attacks on civilians in violation of international humanitarian law, including killings, rape and other violence to persons, looting, and causing forced flight. As one victim remarked, “We are victims every day. We are truly the forgotten ones.” According to the November 2 Pretoria Protocol, justice for many of these victims may well be forgotten too. At the least, justice will be delayed because the protocol provides provisional immunity, an otherwise undefined protection from prosecution, to both FDD combatants and government soldiers.

  • Enabling Poor Rural People to Overcome Poverty in Burundi
    ©IFAD Enabling poor rural people to overcome poverty in Burundi Rural poverty in Burundi Located at the heart of the African Great Lakes region, Burundi has weathered nearly two decades of conflict and troubles, which have contributed to widespread poverty. Burundi is ranked 185th out of 187 countries on the 2011 United Nations Development Programme’s human development index, and eight out of ten Burundians live below the poverty line. Per capita gross national income (GNI) in 2010 was US$170, about half its pre-war level some 20 years ago. The country is now rebuilding itself after emerging from recurrent conflict and ethnic and political rivalry. Between 1993 and 2000, an estimated 300,000 civilians were killed and 1.2 million people fled from their homes to live in refugee camps or in exile. During tha t period, life expectancy declined from 51 to 44 years, the poverty rate doubled from 33 to 67 per cent and economic recession pushed the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita down by more than 27 per cent. The long period of fighting was extremely disruptive to agriculture, which is the main source of livelihood for nine out of ten Burundians. The destruction and looting of crops and livestock, as well as general insecurity, has put rural Burundians under serious strains. Burundi was traditionally self-sufficient in food production, but because of conflict and recurrent droughts, the country has had to rely on food imports and international food aid in some regions. The vast majority of Burundi’s poor people are small-scale subsistence farmers trying to recover from the conflict and its aftermath.

  • BURUNDI: Floods and Landslides Flash Update No
    BURUNDI: floods and landslides Flash Update No. 4 11 February 2020 HIGHLIGHTS • 3 people dead, 19 injured, and more than 11,000 displaced as a result of floods in Gatumba, Buterere, Kinama and Bubanza from 28 to 29 January 2020 • Relocation, shelter, and access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WaSH) are among the most urgent needs • Response capacity remains fragile in view of the upcoming rainy season (February to mid-May) SITUATION OVERVIEW Although it should have been the short dry season (December – January 2019), heavy rainfall combined with other underlying factors caused flooding that cost lives, displaced people internally, and caused extensive damage to shelter, infrastructure (roads, schools and bridges), and crops (especially in swamps). The north-western provinces of Cibitoke, Bubanza, Bujumbura Rural and Mairie have suffered – in varying degrees. The rains of 28-29 January 2020 particularly affected the northern and southern districts of Bujumbura Mairie, the commune of Mubimbuzi (Bujumbura Rural) and the communes of Bubanza province. • In the commune of Ntahangwa (Bujumbura Mairie), the Burundi Red Cross (BRC) and the local authorities counted 266 destroyed houses, 439 flooded houses and 1,390 internally displaced persons (IDPs). • In Bubanza, 266 houses were destroyed while 461 were partially destroyed. In addition, 3 people died, 19 were injured, and 1,507 people were displaced and left homeless. • In Mutimbuzi commune, the banks of the Rusizi River overflowed and flooded several districts of Gatumba, including Kinyinya 1&2, Muyange 1&2, Mushasha 1&2, Gaharawe (Bujumbura Mairie). According to the DTM, the first assessment reported 750 destroyed, 675 partially destroyed, and 942 flooded houses, as well as 9,743 IDPs in extreme need.

    WEEKLY SITUATION REPORT 7 – 13 August 2006 UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES Office for the Coordination of Bureau de Coordination des Affaires Humanitarian Affairs in Burundi Humanitaires au Burundi www.ochaburundi.org www.ochaburundi.org ACTIVITIES AND UPDATES • Training of Teachers and more classrooms: The Ministry of Education supported by UNICEF has intensified efforts to ensure quality education by training 935 teachers ahead of school resumption scheduled for next September. A two month training is under way in Mwaro for 224 teachers (from Bujumbura Rural, Cibitoke, Bubanza Makamba and Mwaro), Gitega for 223 teachers (from Gitega, Cankuzo, Karuzi, Ruyigi, Rutana and Muramvya), Ngozi for 245 (from Ngozi, Kirundo and Muyinga), and in Kayanza for 223 for the provinces of Kayanza and Muramvya. • Health, upsurge of malaria cases in Bubanza: Medical sources reported an increase in malaria cases throughout Bubanza province in July 2006 – 6,708 malaria cases against 3,742 in May. According to the provincial health officer quoted by the Burundi News agency (ABP), the most affected communes include Musigati, Rugazi and Gihanga. This is a result of insecurity prevailing in Musigati and Rugazi communes bordering the Kibira forest - families fleeing insecurity spend nights in the bush and is therefore exposed to mosquito bites. 2 of the 18 health centres in the province registered the highest number of cases: Ruce health centre (Rugazi Commune) registered 609 cases in July against 67 in May, and Kivyuka (Musigati) with 313 cases in July against 167 in May. According to the provincial doctor, drugs are available; however, the situation requires close follow-up as night displacements might continue due to increased attacks blamed on FNL rebel movement and other unidentified armed groups in the said communes.

  • Health Food Security HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES
    Burundi • Humanitarian Bi-Monthly report Situation Report #04 Date/Time 28 May 2009 This report was issued by Burundi office. It covers the period from 11 to 24 May 2009. The next report will be issued on or around 9 June 2009. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES - MSF prepares the phase out of its emergency nutritional operation in Kirundo Province - Repatriation from last Burundian camp in Rwanda - New refugee camp in Bwagiriza I. Situation Overview The President of Burundi has officially requested the support (logistical, technical, financial and moral) of the United Nations for the preparation and the organisation of the 2010 elections. Since March, doctors have been strike over their salaries. Developments in South Kivu and the forthcoming operation Kimia II against FDLR, are not expected to have a major impact on Burundi. The IACP contingency plan remains valid and will be updated in September. II. Humanitarian Needs and Response Health MSF is preparing to phase out its emergency nutrition programme in the Kirundo province as it expects the situation to improve as the harvests ongoing. MSF has also noted that children being referred to its nutritional centres are not as severely malnourished as when it started its emergency programme. Since February 9th, 2009; over 480 children were admitted to the nutritional stabilisation centre because of acute severe malnutrition with medical complications; some 28 children were lost because their situation was too critical when they arrived at the stabilisation centre. During this emergency nutrition programme, MSF found that 58% of the children admitted had oedemas and systematic testing of incoming patients also showed that 53.2% also had malaria.

  • Rapport De Juillet 2018
    Association Burundaise pour la Protection des Droits Humains et des Personnes Détenues «A.PRO.D.H» RAPPORT DE JUILLET 2018 A o û t 2 0 1 8 APRODH-Rapport de Juillet 2018 Page 1 1. INTRODUCTION. Le présent rapport évoque les différentes violations des droits humains commises dans différentes coins du Burundi au cours du mois de juillet 2018. Ce rapport se veut modeste car n’étant pas exhaustif sur toutes les violations des droits humains qui se commettent à travers tout le pays. Comme à l’accoutumé, nous procéderons par une analyse contextuelle de la situation sécuritaire, politique, judiciaire et sociale qui a prévalu tout au long du mois concerné. Cette analyse est, pour notre organisation, la condition sine qua none d’une bonne appréciation des violations des droits humains. Ainsi, au plan sécuritaire, nous évoquerons un état d’insécurité permanente et grandissante, caractérisé par de nombreuses bavures et actes d’intimidation des jeunes affiliés au parti au pouvoir (le CNDD/FDD) communément appelés des Imbonerakure, qui se commettent un peu partout, des attaques armées ici et là dans les coins du pays, des incitations à la justice populaire par l’administration locale, et des armes légères et de petits calibres qui pullulent dans plusieurs localités du pays. Tous ces faits provoquent l’inconfort au sein d’une population qui ne sait plus à quel saint se vouer. Au point de vue politique, le rapport évoque les cotisations pour les fêtes organisées par le parti au pouvoir et ses différents organes ainsi que les contributions forcées imposées à une population sans moyens au nom des élections de 2020.

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.

  • Rapport Du DEUXIEME Trimestre 2017
    Association Burundaise pour la Protection des Droits Humains et des Personnes Détenues «A.PRO.D.H» Rapport du DEUXIEME trimestre 2017. 0. INTRODUCTION. Au cours du 2ème trimestre de l’année en cours, l’APRODH a poursuivi ses actions de monitoring des cas de violation des droits humains dans toutes les 18 provinces du pays. L’Association cherche ainsi à continuer à donner sa contribution à l’amélioration du respect des droits humains au Burundi. Les stratégies spécifiques mises en œuvre sont la communication et le rapportage au niveau interne, la diffusion de rapports périodiquement et le plaidoyer. Toutes ces actions doivent concourir à : -la mise en place d’une base de données propre à éclairer les enquêtes et juridictions pour sanctionner, le moment venu, les différentes violations des droits humains au Burundi, et à - la diminution progressive des cas de violation des droits humains. Le présent rapport est le condensé de 3 rapports mensuels (Avril - Mai et Juin 2017). Comme le précédent, il évoque les différentes violations des droits humains relevées dans différentes localités du pays au cours de la période considérée. Une analyse contextuelle de la situation sécuritaire, politique, judiciaire et sociale qui a prévalu au cours des trois derniers mois permettra de faire une bonne appréciation de l’évolution de la situation des droits humains. Ces éléments seront développés dans le premier paragraphe de notre rapport. En deuxième lieu, et sans avoir la prétention d’être exhaustif, nous mettrons en exergue tous les cas de violation des droits humains observés et recensés à travers les 18 provinces du Burundi au cours de la période considérée, qu’il s’agisse des cas d’atteinte au droit des droits – le droit à la vie et à l’intégrité physique- des enlèvements et des disparitions forcées, ou des cas d’arrestations arbitraires et de détentions illégales de personnes ciblées, dont les victimes sont généralement des présumés opposants au troisième mandat de Pierre NKURUNZIZA.
