	Burundi. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001
		On July 1, 1962, the country became an independent kingdom ruled by the mwami of Burundi.
		Burundi was convulsed by ethnic violence in which thousands of Hutus and Tutsis died, and many fled the country.
		Burundi is one of the poorest, smallest, and most densely populated nations in Africa.

	Burundi -- History
		Burundi?s chronic instability is very largely attributable to the tribal rivalry between the Tutsi who have traditionally dominated the army, the civil service and the higher reaches of the economy, and the pastoral Hutu, who have suffered systematic discrimination to exclude them from any areas of influence.
		Burundi narrowly avoided the same fate, but tensions between Tutsi and Hutu were intensified and several outbreaks of violence occurred in the wake of the Rwanda genocide.
		Against widespread expectation, the incumbent President Buyoya was peacefully displaced by Melchior Ndadaye, a Hutu banker whose Front for Democracy in Burundi (FRODEBU) took 60% of the popular vote.

	BURUNDI
		The uprising was a reaction to the arrest and killing of the former King of Burundi, Ntare V, by the regime that had deposed him in 1966 and established the first republic under Michel Micombero.
		While ethnic identity is clearly a very important element of the security problematique in Burundi, to privilege it as the referent object for security is merely to reintroduce all the problems identified with the privileging of the state at another level (Krause and Williams, 1997; Shaw, 1994).
		Secondly, to understand Burundi purely in terms of Hutu-Tutsi conflict is effectively to silence other aspects to the conflict: these include the socioeconomic aspects already alluded too, intra-group conflict, and the situation of the Twa.
