Bujumbura, Burundi, 11/17 - Travellers wishing to leave Bujumbura had a rude awakening Monday after finding that not a single bus was available to take them upcountry due to a wild-cat strike declared by owners of public transport vehicles without warning.
According to reports gathered at several bus stations in the Burundi capital, the owners of buses launched the strike to protest the recent police directive to reduce the number of passengers aboard each vehicle.
The strike by public vehicle owners has further aggravated the difficult transportation system in Burundi, which has faced a persistent shortage of oil products for the past two weeks.

Economic overview: Burundi is a landlocked, resource-poor country in an early stage of economic development.
As part of its economic reform agenda, launched in February 1991 with IMF and World Bank support, Burundi is trying to diversify its agricultural exports, attract foreign investment in industry, and modernize government budgetary practices.
Since October 1993 the nation has suffered from massive ethnic-based violence which has resulted in the death of perhaps 100,000 persons and the displacement of a million others; production has fallen sharply, and an impoverished and disorganized government can hardly implement these needed reform programs.
