  • 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).

    Republic of Burundi Comments on the UNIIB Report-A/HRC/ COMMENTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF BURUNDI ON THE REPORT OF THE UNITED NATIONS INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION ON BURUNDI (UNIIB) ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO RESOLUTION S-24/1 OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL 1 Republic of Burundi Comments on the UNIIB Report-A/HRC/ I. INTRODUCTION 1. On 9 September 2016, a report by the UN Independent Investigation on Burundi (UNIIB) was communicated to the Republic of Burundi through its Permanent Mission in Geneva. 2. This UNIIB Report was established by three experts pursuant to resolution S- 24/1 of the Human Rights Council. In paragraph 17, the Council of Human Rights requested the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights “to urgently organize and dispatch on the most expeditious basis possible a mission by independent existing experts”. 3. Experts were tasked with " undertaking swiftly an investigation into violations and abuses of human rights with a view to preventing further deterioration of the human rights situation " and make recommendations on measures to be taken. The report covers the period from 15 April 2015 to 30 June 2016. 4. Burundi welcomes the efforts made by the United Nations for the protection of human rights in Burundi by sending experts to find out firsthand the reality on the ground. 5. Burundi regrets, however, that the allegations contained in the report of the experts do not reflect the reality on the ground and by this opportunity would like to react by shedding light on some lies conveyed by the report. 6. Burundi expresses concern about the fact that it has become a tradition that reports on it are submitted late without allowing the Government sufficient time to formulate its observations.

  • The Burundi Killings of 1972 by René Lemarchand June 2008
    The Burundi Killings of 1972 by René Lemarchand June 2008 Stable URL: http://www.massviolence.org/Article?id_article=138 PDF version: http://www.massviolence.org/PdfVersion?id_article=138 http://www.massviolence.org - ISSN 1961-9898 - Edited by Jacques Semelin The Burundi Killings of 1972 In the spring of 1972 the small (10,747 sq miles), overpopulated (7 million), poverty-stricken State of Burundi experienced massive bloodletting. Burundi’s agonies did not begin nor end with what is sometimes referred to in Burundi as ikiza, the “scourge”. Nonetheless, there is nothing in the country’s turbulent history comparable to the scale of the 1972 killings. Although the number of victims will never be known, estimates range between 150,000 to 300,000 (Kiraranganya, 1985: 76) To reduce a complicated drama to its simplest common denominator, the vast majority of those killed were of Hutu origins, representing approximately 80 per cent of a total population then numbering approximately four million; the perpetrators were drawn overwhelmingly from the Tutsi minority, accounting for some 15 per cent of the population, its representatives holding full control over the armed forces and the government. Not all Tutsi were perpetrators, however, nor were all of the victims Hutu. Hutu and Tutsi were both victims and perpetrators — but each at separate time intervals and with very different scales of involvement. The triggering factor behind the bloodbath was a Hutu-led rural insurrection aimed at seizing power from the ruling Tutsi minority. The fulcrum of the rebellion was in the southern province of Bururi, its leadership consisting of a small group of radicalized Hutu intellectuals, most of them operating from neighboring Tanzania.

The identification strategy exploits exogenous variation in the war’s timing across provinces and the exposure of children’s birth cohorts to the fighting. After controlling for province of residence, birth cohort, individual and household characteristics, and province-specific time trends, we find an additional month of war exposure decreases children’s height for age z-scores by 0.047 standard deviations compared to non-exposed children. The effect is robust to specifications exploiting alternative sources of exogenous variation.
