	Burundi - History and Politics
		Elections were held in Burundi in 1961 in which, contrary to the wishes of the administration, Uprona triumphed, securing 80% of the vote and 58 of the 64 seats in the legislature.
		Rwagasore's murder not only deprived Burundi of its ablest leader, but destroyed the nascent ethnic cohesion he had struggled so hard to achieve, at a time when pogroms against Tutsis in Rwanda were polarising and poisoning ethnic relations between the two communities throughout the region.
		The Tutsi political parties argue that the parties from which their representatives hail should already be specified, fearing that otherwise the Hutu parties, who are certain to win the lection, will simply pick pro-Hutu Tutsis for the positions.

	Preventing Genocide in Burundi Lessons from International Diplomacy: Peaceworks: Publications: U.S. Institute of Peace
		As political scientists and human rights monitors have testified, much of the current violence is in fact genocidal, even if it is not always possible to document the “intent” to partially or wholly destroy an ethnic group required by the international Convention on Genocide.
		Behind the murders of political opponents, the systematic ethnic cleansing of urban and rural districts, the armed attacks on refugees and internally displaced persons, and the ambushes of civilians lies the conviction held by both Tutsi and Hutu that unless the other’s crimes are retaliated against by retribution, planned annihilation will inevitably follow.
		Of course, in the Burundi case, the achievement of a negotiated compromise is greatly hampered by the history of genocide.
