		Burundi has five ecological regions: the plains (Imbo), the spur (mountains), the dorsal (Nile-Zaïre), the central plateau, and the lowlands of the E and NE.
		The inhabitants of Burundi are divided among three ethnic groups: the Hutu (c.85% of the population), who are mostly farmers; the Tutsi (c.14%), who dominate the government and the military and who are predominantly cattle raisers; and the Twa pygmies (c.1%), who engage in hunting and gathering.
		In the late 1980s, Burundi introduced a number of reforms designed to lessen ethnic divisions, including the appointment of a majority of Hutus to the house of ministers, elevating a Hutu to the office of prime minister, and encouraging enlistment of Hutus in the military.

		Burundi's first democratically elected president was assassinated in October 1993 after only 100 days in office, triggering widespread ethnic violence between Hutu and Tutsi factions.

		The new government, led by President Pierre NKURUNZIZA, faces many challenges, particularly from the country's last rebel group who remains outside of the peace process and continue attacks in the western provinces of Burundi.
