  • Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 March 25, 2003 Note: the Last Situation Report Was Dated November 18, 2002
    U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) BURUNDI – Complex Emergency Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 March 25, 2003 Note: The last situation report was dated November 18, 2002. BACKGROUND The Tutsi minority, which represents 14 percent of Burundi’s 6.85 million people, has dominated the country politically, militarily, and economically since national independence in 1962. Approximately 85 percent of Burundi’s population is Hutu, and approximately one percent is Twa (Batwa). The current cycle of violence began in October 1993 when members within the Tutsi-dominated army assassinated the first freely elected President, Melchoir Ndadaye (Hutu), sparking Hutu-Tutsi fighting. Ndadaye’s successor, Cyprien Ntariyama (Hutu), was killed in a plane crash on April 6, 1994, alongside Rwandan President Habyarimana. Sylvestre Ntibantunganya (Hutu) took power and served as President until July 1996, when a military coup d’etat brought current President Pierre Buyoya (Tutsi) to power. Since 1993, an estimated 300,000 Burundians have been killed. In August 2000, nineteen Burundian political parties signed the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in Arusha, Tanzania, overseen by peace process facilitator, former South African President Nelson Mandela. The Arusha Peace Accords include provisions for an ethnically balanced army and legislature, and for democratic elections to take place after three years of transitional government. The three-year transition period began on November 1, 2001. President Pierre Buyoya is serving as president for the first 18 months of the transition period, to be followed in May 2003 by a Hutu president for the final 18 months.

  • SITUATION REPORT 9 – 15 July 2007
    SITUATION REPORT 9 – 15 July 2007 UNITED NATIONS NATIONS UNIES Office for the Coordination of Bureau de Coordination des Humanitarian Affairs in Burundi Affaires Humanitaires au Burundi http://ochaonline.un.org/Burundi http://ochaonline.un.org/Burundi ACTIVITIES AND UPDATES Update on repatriation Last week, UNHCR reported the return of 840 Burundian refugees who arrived from Tanzania through the entry points of Kobero / Muyinga province (182), Gisuru /Ruyigi province (248) and Mabanda / Makamba province (410). This is the first repatriation which has taken place since new measures to promote the return of Burundians from northwestern camps in Tanzania were announced. Nonetheless, statistics of previous years reveal that the present increase in the number of returnees is normal during this time of the year. Since the beginning of the UNHCR facilitated repatriation process in April 2002, the number of returnees normally starts increasing from May and peaks in August due to the end of the school year and harvests. The impact of the cash grant programme will be better evaluated through returnee caseloads starting from late September. During the period under review, 462 DRC refugees were transferred from Bujumbura to Musasa transit center (Ngozi province). To date, the total number of DRC refugees transferred to Gasorwe refugee camp and Musasa transit center in 2007 is 4,287. Update on Burundians expelled from Tanzania Expelled persons continue to arrive from Tanzania. During the reporting week, the Government project for the reintegration of war-affected persons (PARESI) registered 414 persons (205 families) expelled from Tanzania: 356 at the entry point of Kobero (Muyinga) and 58 in Mishiha (Cankuzo).

  • BURUNDI 26 December 2002 This Programme Update Is Intended for Reporting on Annual Appeals
    BURUNDI 26 December 2002 This Programme Update is intended for reporting on Annual Appeals. Appeal No. 01.08/2002 Appeal Target: CHF 3,075,978 (revised to CHF 1,142,978) Programme Update no. 2; Period covered: July - December 2002 “At a Glance” Appeal coverage: 87.2% Related Appeals: N/A Outstanding needs: Donors are encouraged to focus their support on the 2003 Annual Appeal for Burundi (no. 01.01/2003) Operational Developments: The transitional government of Burundi is making an effort to ensure the institutions foreseen in the Arusha Peace Accords are properly set up. In parallel it is pursuing discussions with the different factions of the National Council for the Defence of Democracy - Forces for the Defence of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) and the Forces for National Liberation (FNL) to achieve a cease-fire agreement. One wing of the CNDD-FDD has already signed such an agreement although the other wing is still negotiating. The FNL is still setting preconditions prior to any negotiation, resulting in an impasse. Fighting thus continues and even is gaining pace in almost all the provinces, particularly those on the eastern and southern borders with Tanzania, those along the north-western border with the DR Congo and Rwanda and in the province of Bujumbura Rural surrounding the capital. According to different (but corroborating) sources attacks in the central province of Gitega left nearly one thousand dead or injured civilian victims. At the meeting of the contact group on 6 November, FAO and UNICEF presented the food security and nutrition situation. When the UN’s CAP was launched on 19 November, the international community was again alerted to the nutrition situation which is likely to worsen by the end of the year.
