Little known in the English-speaking world, Burundi is Rwanda`s twin, a small Central African country with a complex history of ethnic tension between its Hutu & Tutsi populations that has itself experienced traumatic events, including mass killings of over 200, 000 people. The country remained in a state of simmering civil war until 2004, after which Julius Nyerere & Nelson Mandela took turns as mediators in a lengthy, & eventually successful, peace process which has endowed Burundi with new institutions, including a new constitution that led to the election of Pierre Nkurunziza as president in 2005. After some years of modest progress Burundi`s peace was shattered again when the president decided to stand for a third term in 2015. The tensions today are more political than ethnic but the country faces many other problems, above all the entrenched poverty which has seen Burundi designated as one of the most deprived countries on earth. Nigel Watt`s book discusses the troubled political fortunes of this beautiful yet disturbed country which is now part of the East African Community. He traces the origins of its political crises, sheds light on Burundi`s recent history by means of interviews with leading participants & those whose lives have been affected by horrific events, helps demystify the country`s `ethnic` divisions & follows the fortunes of the Nkurunziza regime. ...
