Surveyed households in the provinces of Muramvya (100%), Bujumbura Rumonge (96%), Gitega (90%), Rutana (87%) and Cibitoke (85%) reported damaged Rural houses as the reason for not returning home. In addi�on, lack of financial resources Rumonge was an impediment for these displaced households who are not able to rebuild their Rutana destroyed homes. Bururi Percentage of households The majority of households in Kirundo province (69%) reported food scarcity as the reason for not returning to their community of origin. This lack of food was due to 21- 27% prolonged drought in this province. These households preferred to stay in their 28 - 58% areas of displacement where the food was available. Displaced households in the Makamba provinces of Cankuzo (44%), Ngozi (29%) and Muyinga (22%) reported the same 59 - 84% reason for displacement (lack of food), as a significant number of IDPs in these 85 - 100% provinces were displaced from Kirundo. © IOM Burundi - Reference map (March 2020) This map is for illustration purposes only.

Volunteers from the Burundian Red Cross (BRC) consult with key informants to iden�fy displacement trends and needs in their communi�es. Key informants can be community leaders, local government authori�es and religious leaders. Enumerators complete three types of assessments: The commune level assessement provides informa�on on displacement trends in all communes in Burundi (119 communes). This assessment provides informa�on on displacement periods, provinces of origin and new displacements phenomena. The colline level assessment provides informa�on regarding humanitarian needs in the top five displacement areas (collines*) hos�ng the highest numbers of displaced persons per commune.** This assessment provides informa�on on demographics, vulnerabili�es and sectoral needs. The household level assessment provides informa�on regarding humanitarian needs in two newly displaced households in surveyed collines.*** Data presented in this report was collected from 4 to 26 March 2020. *Collines are the smallest administra�ve en��es in Burundi. ** While colline assessments are conducted in the five collines hos�ng the highest numbers of displaced persons in each commune. Twelve communes in the provinces of Bujumbura Rural, Bururi, Gitega, Karusi and Mwaro have 31 collines that do not host IDPs. Assessments from 564 collines are used in the analysis of this report. *** Among the 564 collines, 70 collines host only one newly displaced household. Assessments from 1,058 households are used in the analysis of this report.

    The Burundi Human Rights Initiative A FAÇADE OF PEACE IN A LAND OF FEAR Behind Burundi’s human rights crisis January 2020 A Façade of Peace in a Land of Fear WHAT IS THE BURUNDI HUMAN RIGHTS INITIATIVE? The Burundi Human Rights Initiative (BHRI) is an independent human rights project that aims to document the evolving human rights situation in Burundi, with a particular focus on events linked to the 2020 elections. It intends to expose the drivers of human rights violations with a view to establishing an accurate record that will help bring justice to Burundians and find a solution to the ongoing human rights crisis. BHRI’s publications will also analyse the political and social context in which these violations occur to provide a deeper and more nuanced understanding of human rights trends in Burundi. BHRI has no political affiliation. Its investigations cover human rights violations by the Burundian government as well as abuses by armed opposition groups. Carina Tertsakian and Lane Hartill lead BHRI and are its principal researchers. They have worked on human rights issues in Burundi and the Great Lakes region of Africa for many years. BHRI’s reports are the products of their collaboration with a wide range of people inside and outside Burundi. BHRI welcomes feedback on its publications as well as further information about the human rights situation in Burundi. Please write to [email protected] or +1 267 896 3399 (WhatsApp).

  • Burundi 19 the U.S
    Angola/Burundi 19 The U.S. House of Representatives held hearings on Angola in June, showing interest in the consolidation of Angolan civil society and the role of church groups in reconciliation work. Among those who addressed the House Subcommittee on Africa was Reverend Daniel Ntoni-Nzinga, executive director of COIEPA. BURUNDI HUMAN RIGHTS DEVELOPMENTS In the year following the November 2001 installation of a transitional govern- ment comprising seventeen political parties, hopes that the nine-year-old civil war might end remained unfulfilled. Government leaders, both Hutu and Tutsi, pledged serious negotiations with the two largely Hutu rebel groups that had refused to sign the Arusha Accord of 2000, the Forces for the Defense of Democracy (Forces pour la défense de la démocratie, FDD) and the National Forces of Libera- tion (Forces nationales de libération, FNL). But as of mid-November 2002 the war dragged on with widespread suffering for the population. Both government and rebel forces killed, raped, or otherwise injured hundreds of civilians and pillaged or destroyed their property. Rebel forces ambushed civil- ian vehicles and killed and robbed the passengers. As in the past, government mili- tary and rebel groups alike coerced men, women, and children into transporting goods, a practice that sometimes placed the civilians in the direct line of fire. The government continued a program of “civilian self-defense” and did little to curb or punish human rights abuses committed by its participants. Courts continued to function badly. In early 2002 an international commission recommended prison reforms and the freeing of political prisoners, but such measures were not taken and prisoners remained in inhumane conditions in overcrowded jails: at 8,400, the prison population declined slightly from the previous year.

  • Burundi 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    BURUNDI 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution defines the state as secular, prohibits religious discrimination, and provides for freedom of conscience and religion. It prohibits political parties from preaching religious violence or hate. Laws regulating nonprofit organizations and religious denominations require registration with the Ministry of the Interior, and religious denominations must meet standards including a minimum number of adherents in order to seek registration. Religious groups that do not seek or receive registration may face scrutiny, and at times harassment or prosecution, by government officials and ruling party members. On March 14, a man in Cankuzo Province died after being arrested and imprisoned for refusing to register as a voter due to his religious beliefs. The official cause of death was malaria, but witnesses cited beatings with iron rods and stated that they contributed to his death. Approximately 2,500 members of a nonrecognized religious group that fled the country to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 2013 and 2014 returned to the country in April. The Ministry of Interior appointed 11 members of a new religious monitoring body, of whom eight were religious leaders, including the president and vice president of the committee. The committee included one Muslim representative, six representatives from Protestant denominations, and one Catholic representative, who resigned and was not replaced during the year. The committee reported extensive efforts to promote dialogue among and within religious denominations during the year. Among the committee’s stated functions was to track what were termed subversive or inflammatory teachings of religious groups. Religious leaders from different denominations sought to promote improved interfaith relations, which at times were strained by political differences, including through nongovernmental organization (NGO)-supported dialogue programs.

  • BURUNDI Refugees Forced Back to Danger
    BURUNDI Refugees forced back to danger Refugees from Burundi returning to their country are facing the same human rights abuses that forced them to flee in the first place. The civil war and ethnic violence in Burundi have not abated since October 1993. Killings of unarmed civilians, including the elderly and children, are reported virtually every week. At least 10,000 casualties have been recorded since Major Pierre Buyoya took power in a military coup on 25 July 1996. Tutsi-led armed groups in Zaire are forcing the refugees to leave Zaire and are handing them over to Burundi government forces at the border. The Zairian government has stated that all refugees from Burundi and Rwanda must leave. But there are no guarantees of safety once the Burundi refugees return. Amnesty International is continuing to receive reports of human rights abuses in Burundi by both the Tutsi-dominated Burundi armed forces and Hutu-led armed groups. As many as 500 people who have returned to Burundi in recent weeks are reported to have been killed by Burundi government forces. Others have “disappeared”. The international community has not taken steps to protect the human rights of refugees from Burundi. It is apparently willing to see refugees returned to Burundi, even though they will be at risk of human rights violations there. The situation in Burundi is deteriorating, yet the international community has remained silent and has failed to take action to protect the vulnerable. The civil war: a deliberate policy of elimination The tens of thousands of refugees from Burundi who sought sanctuary in Zaire fled from mass killings directed against members of the Hutu ethnic group.
