Resource Scarcity and Social Identity in the Political Conflicts in Burundi Resource Scarcity and Social Identity in the Political Conflicts in Burundi by Elisabeth Naito Jengo Dissertation presented for the degree of Master of Political Science (International Studies) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Promotor: Prof Pierre du Toit March 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. November 2012 Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Since Burundi gained independence in 1962, this country has experienced periods of mass communal violence. Extensive scholarly research has focused on exploring the factors behind, and the nature of, the conflicts in Burundi from a socio-ethnic perspective. There has, however, been a persistent lack of attention paid to the inextricable relationship between environmental factors; particularly the scarcity of resources, coupled with rapid population growth; and Burundi‘s recent history of internal conflict. Noteworthy explanatory factors, which are often ignored in literature on the environment and conflict, have thus motivated this study. Burundi is an example of this reality because of a highly dependent agricultural economy and a constant growing population. This study used a descriptive analysis, as methodological tool; in order to gain an understanding of Burundi‘s land question - that is, how limited access to land and the constantly increasing population have led to environmental degradation, that served as motivational trigger factors for the violent political conflicts that occurred at various periods between 1965 and 1993 in this country. This study addresses this epistemological gap. In order to explore the nexus between environmental factors, land access, population growth and the political conflicts in Burundi, this study draws and builds upon Jared Diamond‘s (2005) five point framework of potential trigger factors to environmental collapse. Moreover, Diamond‘s (2005) ecocide theory argues that there are eight specific indicators to demonstrate how societies undermine themselves by damaging their own environment; thus resulting in an ecocide. This theory was applied to the two main environmental variables examined in this study. More specifically, this theoretical perspective provided a base for exploring how land issues, population growth, environmental degradation and political change can be understood as important precursors to the violent conflicts in Burundi. What may be surmised by this study; is that there is indeed a positive correlation between these forces, where the values of the independent variables (land access and population growth) are associated with the values of the dependent variable (violent conflict). This correlation, therefore, calls for an acknowledgement of the complexity of the Burundian conflicts and that ethnicity which has dominated contemporary conflict analysis is but one of several social rifts. Key terms: Burundi, political conflict, environmental scarcity, land access and population growth ii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za OPSOMMING Sedert Burundi in 1962 onafhanklikheid verkry het, het hierdie land periodes van massa gewelddadige politieke konflik ervaar. Uitgebreide wetenskaplike navorsing het daarop gefokus om die faktore agter die gebeure, sowel as die aard van die konflik in Burundi vanuit ‘n sosio-etniese perspektief, te ondersoek. Tog word daar steeds gebrekkige aandag geskenk aan die onlosmaaklike verhouding tussen omgewingsfaktore, veral gebrek aan hulpbronne, gepaardgaande met die voortgesette bevolkingsaanwas; asook Burundi se onlangse geskiedenis van interne konflik. Noemenswaardige gapings, wat dikwels in die verklarende literatuur geïgnoreer word, het dus hierdie studie gemotiveer. Burundi is ‘n voorbeeld van hierdie werklikheid omdat die land baie afhanklik van landbou is; as gevolg van die kontstante bevolkingsaanwas in die land. Hierdie navorsing het beskrywende analise as ‘n metodologiese instrument gebruik om insig te kry oor Burundi se grondkwessie – met ander woorde hoe die beperkte toegang tot grond en ‘n toenemende bevolkingsaanwas gelei het tot die agteruitgang van die omgewing. Bostaande faktore het as motiverende sneller faktore gedien, wat aanleiding gegee het tot die gewelddadige politieke konflik, wat gedurende verskillende periodes tussen 1965 en 1993 in hierdie land ontstaan het. Hierdie studie poog dus om hierdie epistomologiese gaping aan te spreek. Ten einde die verband (nexus) tussen omgewingsfaktore, grondbesit, bevolkingsaanwas en die politieke konflikte in Burundi te ondersoek, steun en bou hierdie studie voort op Jared Diamond (2005) se vyfpunt raamwerk van potensiële sneller faktore, wat lei tot omgewings ineenstorting. Verder beweer Diamond (2005) se omgewings uitwissing (ecocide) teorie dat daar agt spesifieke aanduidings is om te demonstreer hoe gemeenskappe hulself ondermyn deur hul eie omgewing te beskadig/vernietig: wat uitloop op omgewings uitwissing (ecocide). Hierdie teorie is aangewend in die twee hoof omgewings veranderlikes, wat in die studie/ navorsing ondersoek is. Hierdie teoretiese perspektief het ook spesifiek ‘n basis voorsien om te ondersoek hoe grondkwessies, bevolkingsaanwas, omgewings agteruitgang en politieke verandering verstaan kan word as belangrike aanwysers van die geweldadige konflik in Burundi. Deur middel van hierdie studie kan ‘n duidelike opsomming gemaak word dat daar inderdaad ‘n positiewe korrelasie tussen hierdie magte voorkom, waar die waardes van die onafhanklike veranderlike (toegang tot grond en bevolkingsgroei) geassosieer word met die waardes van die afhanklike veranderlike (geweldadige konflik). Hierdie korrelasie verg dus ‘n beroep om erkenning te gee aan die kompleksiteit van konflik in Burundi. Hierdie etniese debat, wat tans die oorheersende konflik aanvuur, is maar net een van die verskeie interpretasies van sosiale breekpunte in Burundi is. iii Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Sleutelterme: Burundi, politieke konflik, gebrek in die omgewing, toegang tot grond en bevolkingsaanwas iv Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Writing this dissertation has been one of the most significant academic challenges I have ever encountered, and it has only been possible to complete with the support, advice and guidance from the following people.

    Assassinat du Premier ministre du Burundi, Pierre Ngendandumwe Cinquante ans après Par Perpétue Nshimirimana, le 15 janvier 2015 Contribution à la Commission Vérité-Réconciliation et au Mécanisme de Justice Transitionnelle L’année 2015 est une année particulière dans l’Histoire du Burundi. Elle marque, en effet, le cinquantième anniversaire du déclenchement des premiers assassinats en masse des citoyens et des intellectuels burundais ayant en commun le fait d’appartenir à l’ethnie Hutu. Cet anniversaire invite tous les Barundi épris de justice et de paix à marquer un temps d’arrêt pour une pensée envers toutes les victimes innocentes du pays. Aujourd’hui, le public attend, précisément, de la part des dirigeants du Burundi officiel, de vrais gestes symboliques et concrets dans le but d’honorer leur mémoire et de lutter contre l’oubli suivi d’une impunité invraisemblable. L’année 2015 donne l’occasion, aussi, de se souvenir en particulier de ces illustres disparus, les vrais Bâtisseurs du Burundi moderne. Il faut les mettre en lumière pour assurer la pérennité de leurs idées et de leurs projets. Au moment où le pays se dote, enfin, des membres constitutifs de la Commission Vérité et Réconciliation (C.V.R.)1, le Burundi doit regarder en face son passé et délivrer l’entière vérité à sa population en souffrance depuis si longtemps. De nombreuses familles sont dans l’attente d’explications sur l’étendue du mal répandu en toute conscience et avec détermination. Le temps de la réhabilitation des personnes injustement accusées puis assassinées dans la foulée, au cours de l’année 1965, est arrivé.

The analysis of the complex relationships between distribution and group dynamics reveals that these relationships are reciprocal, implying that distribution and group dynamics are endogenous. The nature of endogenously generated group dynamics determines the type of preferences (altruistic or exclusionist), which in turn determines the type of allocative institutions and policies that prevail in the political and economic system. While unequal distribution of resources may be socially inefficient, it nonetheless can be rational from the perspective of the ruling elite, especially because inequality perpetuates dominance.

    Comparative Reconciliation Politics in Rwanda and Burundi Philippe Rieder A Thesis In the Humanities Doctoral Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Humanities) at Concordia University Montreal, Québec, Canada April 2015 © Philippe Rieder, 2015 Signature Page Main Supervisor Frank Chalk Committee member Peter Stoett Committee member Andrew Ivaska Chair Steven High External Examiner René Lemarchand Examiner for Humanities Doctoral Program Maurice Charland iii Abstract Comparative Reconciliation Politics in Rwanda and Burundi Philippe Rieder, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2015 This thesis functions as a comparative exercise juxtaposing reconciliation politics in Rwanda and Burundi from a bottom-up perspective. Rwanda and Burundi have been labeled 'twins' before. Both countries have a very similar population structure and history of mass violence. However, their post- conflict processes differ. This fact renders them ideal candidates for comparison. Rwanda's 'maxi- mum approach' is compared to Burundi's 'non-approach' to reconciliation politics on two levels: official and informal. The 'official' level examines intention and politico-economic context from the government's side, the 'informal' level looks at how these policies have been perceived at the grass- roots and if they succeeded in reconciling the population with regard to the key objectives memory, acknowledgement, apology, recognition, and justice.

Armed violence in the form of an intentional and unlawful use of force against unarmed individuals includes a wide range of crimes such as murder, assault, rape, genocide, politically-motivated killings, war crimes and crimes against humanity, as confirmed in the case of Democratic Republic of the Congo v Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda (Armed Activities case).1 The UN Security Council is entrusted with the primary responsibility of maintaining international peace and human security in line with the objectives stipulated under the UN Charter.2 However, very little has been done to maintain peace and human security in Burundi. It is common cause that Burundi has experienced gross violations of human rights since independence in 1962. Even the post-transition arrangements which were designed to consolidate the rule of law and good governance have failed to deal with these violations in a comprehensive manner. Today, ten years after the adoption of the Post-Transitional Constitution of 2005 (hereinafter Post-conflict Constitution) sexual violence against women, arbitrary detentions and extra-judicial killings, torture This article is an updated version of a paper presented to the 57th Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association, November 20-23, 2014, JW Marriott Indianapolis Hotel, Indianapolis, USA.
