Burundi
After a long civil war during which some 300,000 people have been killed since 1993, Burundi completed the last step of the transitional period outlined in the peace plan signed in Arusha, Tanzania, in 2000. Its presidential election—held August 19, 2005—ended the three-year transitional period. Burundi faces the challenges of maintaining stability and building political institutions that allow its democracy to grow stronger.
