  • 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.

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.
