	Burundi Provinces
		Probably these are the same as the arrondissements of Muramvya and Mwaro, as they stood in 1978.
		According to a Burundi government press release dated November 12 (no year), the Burundi parliament voted "this Tuesday" to split the province of Mwaro from Muramvya.
		At first glance, it may appear that the new provinces are the same as the old arrondissements.

		Claude Nikondeha is the founder of Mt. Mwaro Reconciliation Center in Mwaro, Burundi in East Africa.
		“It was a sunny day in Mwaro and all the students and their families and friends came to celebrate the end of the first quarter and Christmas together along with the Governor of Mwaro and his entourage,” reports Rev. Andre Nikondeha who is in charge of the curriculum of the school (and also my dad).
		Whether they stay in Mwaro or move on to other provinces, we are confident that they will be a blessing to Burundi as they grow God’s Kingdom where they go.

		This is a collection of photographs of the refugees from the camp at Mwaro in Burundi.
		The base at Mwaro is right next to the camp, & the children in particular frequently hang around outside the razor wire, hoping a friendly soldier will give them something.
		Most of these pictures were taken when a large group of refugees arrived at the base when the platoon donated a large quantity of excess rations to them.

		The provinces in which the lowest percentages of IDP households express a willingness to return are Mwaro (10%), Bujumbura Mairie (24%), Muyinga (25%), Kirundo (26%), Gitega and Ngozi (28%).
		Particularly in the latter four provinces, the lack of willingness to return is directly related to the perception that the inter-ethnic problems that sparked the original displacement in 1993 have not yet been resolved.
		This percentage is highest in Mwaro (90%), Bujumbura Mairie (75%) and the northern provinces of Ngozi (71%), Kirundo (71%), Muyinga (69%) and Gitega (68%).

	ACT Appeals
		The ACT programme proposed targets all 17 provinces of Burundi for emergency relief (a new province, Mwaro, was recently carved out of the province of Muramvya).
		Although there are problems of security, with normal precautions it is possible for every commune in the country to be accessed, although spasmodic road closures and rebel movements can cause problems and can add to costs by, for example, having to divert deliveries by a longer route.
		The social fabric of the area around Kibimba - at the border of the three provinces of Gitega, Mwaro and Muramvya - was shattered by the crisis in 1993 when the terrible massacre of schoolchildren took place nearby.
