  Guardian | How rice farming and refugees brought malaria to vulnerable corner of Burundi
The farmers of Karuzi province were among Africa's poorest, but they had won at least one of nature's lotteries: for as long as anyone could remember their corner of Burundi had been free of malaria.
Some farmers cleared papyrus from the lower wetlands to cultivate rice, not realising that by releasing an oil on the water's surface the papyrus had acted as a barrier against certain mosquitoes.
Shuttling between the Institute of Trop ical Medicine in Anvers, outside Brussels, and a one-room laboratory with a rickety wooden chair in Buhiga, Karuzi's main town, her mission is to prevent another disastrous epidemic.

She and her 13-year-old brother, Omer, struggle to survive in a country where, in recent years, neighbor rose against neighbor in a demonstration of ethnic violence that left thousands dead, houses in ruins, and children without childhoods.
Theresa is a typical "orphan head of household" in Karuzi Province, Burundi.
Theresa and Omer survived until the governor of Karuzi declared it was safe to return home, gave everyone a ration of food, and ordered the camps cleared during the next two days—Dec. 21-22, 1997.

One of the largest Christian relief and development organizations in the world is working to combat malnutrition in the north-eastern Burundi province of Karuzi by educating communities about proper nutrition and hygiene.
While social injustice and economic deprivation are the main causes of malnutrition among the vulnerable population in Burundi, a lack of public awareness regarding healthy eating habits complicates the nutritional issues in the country, reported World Vision.
Funded by UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), the project targets over 17,500 vulnerable households in the province and is focused on assessing the malnutrition levels among children, improving the nutritional status and preventing diseases among children and their mothers in Karuzi province.

Reuters quoted eyewitnesses as saying the army massacred 83 Hutu civilians near Rutegama in Muramvya province last weekend, but presidential spokesman Ndizeye said he had heard nothing about the incident.
A Burundian official said more than 200,000 civilians had been grouped into special camps in the troubled provinces of Cibitoke, Bubanza, Karuzi and Muramvya so that the army could differentiate between innocent civilians and Hutu rebels.
Frederic Kazungu, chief of staff at the ministry for displaced people and refugee repatriation, admitted that conditions at the Karuzi camps in particular were not ideal, placing the blame on regional economic sanctions imposed by Burundi's neighbours last July.
