	BURUNDI
		Since Burundi gained independence it has been convulsed by regular bouts of violence: coups have been the ‘normal’ means of securing (intra-Tutsi) regime change, while several Hutu uprisings have attempted to challenge discrimination and oppression, in turn sparking extremely violent reactions by the armed forces.

		Surviving members of the government gradually re-emerged from foreign embassies where they had sought refuge from the coup and subsequent massacres, but almost three months were to elapse before a new president could be sworn in and a government established.

		For their part, non-African policy-makers, motivated by a mixture of self-interest and altruism, have concluded that they need new policies and programs for an increasingly globalized world in which an African problem—terrorism, for example, or a deadly disease—can easily spread beyond the continent’s borders.
		Such policies, says Princeton Lyman, Ralph Bunche senior fellow in Africa policy studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, “would allow for an examination of Africa’s place in the process of globalization and the extent and the ways by which Africa’s relative marginalization in that process poses a problem for the international community.”
		Graca Machel, the president of Mozambique’s Foundation for Community Development, told a meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations. In 2001, the AU established the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) to end armed conflicts, promote good governance, and eradicate poverty.
