Key Problems
  • Colonial-induced animosities and subsequent competition among ethnic elites have fueled a three-decade-long political conflict in Burundi, turning the country into a powder keg primed by fears for personal security. Since 1993 some 150,000 Burundian civilians have been murdered in spreading genocidal conflicts in Central Africa. The international community, which failed to act when the crisis began, now faces a major challenge in Burundi and, more widely, in Central Africa.
This undercut the political legitimacy of those Hutu moderates committed to peaceful change. Former FRODEBU Minister Leonard Nyangoma responded by organizing the CNDD, a Hutu-led political movement- cum

Burundi Catholic Relief Services continues to help Burundians regain and retain their dignity by alleviating suffering and poverty and by promoting a culture of peace. By playing a crucial role as the coordinating agency for emergency assistance in the country, despite the daily dangers of war, Catholic Relief Services has helped thousands of people with relief items and through the construction of temporary shelters. Our work encompasses the two largest ethnic groups in the country, the Hutu and the Tutsi, as well as the often forgotten, and severely marginalized Batwa Pygmy minority. Examples of our Work
Catholic Relief Services' work is built on the premise of justice and dignity for all regardless of faith, ethnicity, or social status. The Agency supports local partners in their efforts to bridge ethnic differences, and provides assistance in areas such as HIV/AIDS, Health and sanitation and peace building. But it does not stop there. Collaborating with other organizations, it has provided 10,500 displaced and marginalize families with necessities such as blankets, containers, soap and plastic sheeting so they can rebuild their lives. Some specific examples of our work are:

Efforts to unify the Ethiopian Church and restore security and prosperity to the kingdom produce a period of artistic florescence centered at the capital city of Gondar. Along the East African coast, first Portugal and then the sultanate of Oman gain control of Swahili economic centers; Mombasa, in modern-day Kenya, becomes an important state in the eighteenth century under Omani rule. The East African interior, in present-day Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and western Kenya and Tanzania, witnesses the development of large states made powerful by trade and improved agriculture.

Unit Four Regional Perspectives
Module Nineteen: East Africa
Teacher's Edition
PURPOSE
The purpose of Module Nineteen is to introduce students to the region called East Africa. East Africa is a vast area encompassing the countries of Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Seychelles, and Comoros. As with other regions of Africa (see Introduction to Module Twenty: Regional Perspectives ), the countries that are included in East Africa can vary somewhat depending on whom you talk to. Some of the countries listed here can also fit into the regions of Central, Southern, or Northern Africa. But for the sake of this module, we will refer to East Africa as the twelve countries listed above. Activity One: The Region Called East Africa gives a brief overview of the history of the region, highlighting human origins, early kingdoms, trade routes, European colonialism, and postcolonial states. In this activity, students should get a sense of the rich history of this region and its connectedness to other regions in Africa and the rest of the world. The activity ends by discussing intra-regional political and economic organizations in East Africa, giving COMESA as one example. Activity Two: The Geography of East Africa deals with some of the geographical differences between East African subregions. The region of East Africa can be further broken down into three subregions—The Horn of Africa (Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Djibouti), the Great Lakes Region (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi), and islands in the Indian Ocean (Seychelles and Comoros). The different vegetations, water availabilities, topographies, and population densities in these regions are discussed. Also, the impact of tourism on the East African enviroment is discussed.

EAST AFRICAN HISTORY I. Pre-history: The Origins of Modern Humans East Africa is a region with some of the most significant and oldest paleoanthropological finds in the world. Paleoanthropology is the study of early hominids (primates belonging to the Hominidae family, including modern humans and their ancestors). Paleoanthropologists such as Mary and Louis Leakey, and Donald Johanson have made important discoveries of hominid skeletons and artifacts in East Africa that have helped scientists to piece together how human beings may have evolved.

History
In late pre-colonial times, most of Burundi was ruled by a monarchy, with the throne contested by two clans, the Bezi and the Batare. When German imperial forces arrived in 1899, Mwezi I of the Bezi was mwami (king), though his succession was disputed by the Batare. When Germany's African colonies were confiscated in 1919, Burundi and its neighbor Rwanda were ceded to Belgium as a single colony called Ruanda-Urundi. Like its German predecessor, the Belgian administration at first supported the Bezi, but after 1945, relations between the two deteriorated, as Bezi princes demanded immediate independence. mwami 's son, Prince Louis Rwagasore. Rwagasore swiftly built a large support base that was predominantly Hutu but with significant Tutsi representation, and after Belgium granted Burundi internal autonomy in 1959, Uprona won communal and legislative elections. In 1961, political opponents, with suspected Belgian assistance, assassinated Rwagasore, denying him the chance to lead Burundi to independence in 1962. The post-independence period saw clan loyalties receding as the primary point of political reference in Burundi, and a rapid ethnicizing of political competition occurred. This was in large part fueled by developments in neighboring Rwanda, where the government was pursuing a policy of radical Hutu supremacism. The fear of this trend emerging in Burundi, and the influence of the thousands of traumatized Rwandan Tutsi refugees who fled into Burundi, radicalized Burundian Tutsis, particularly in the armed forces, and they became determined to preserve their position at any cost. The country's first post-independence prime minister, Pierre Ngendanduwe, who was from Uprona and a Hutu, was assassinated in 1965, following which Uprona won fresh legislative elections, largely on the strength of the Hutu vote. However, the

It quoted Tanzanian Foreign Minister Jakaya Kikwete as saying the summit was likely to suspend, but not cancel, the embargo. The Arusha peace process, bringing together various sides in the Burundi conflict, resumes on 18 January. Sanctions have passed "sell-by date" A new report on Burundi sanctions, commissioned by ActionAid, says the policy has passed its "sell-by date". The embargo should have been lifted after the new political partnership between the government and the opposition FRODEBU party, which the report described as a turning point in the history of sanctions. Humanitarian exemptions to the embargo have not sufficed to reverse a decline in social indicators, and vulnerable people have been more and more affected by the sanctions which have made it difficult for donors and creditors to provide fresh credit, development assistance and balance of payments support to Burundi.

    http://www.umich.edu/~iinet/journal/vol4no2/cenaf.html
    Convergent Catastrophes in Central Africa
    By David Newbury
    David Newbury is a faculty member in History, University of North Carolina. The following article is adapted from an internet posting to "NUAFRICA: Program in African Studies Mailing List," on November 3, 1996. The peoples of Central Africa face yet another human catastrophe. Since 1993, with the election and assassination of President Ndadaye in Burundi, the genocide in Rwanda, and the accumulation of massive refugee communities in Zaire and Tanzania, Central Africa has appeared frequently, if sporadically, in the headlines. But the political transformation of the region has now moved into a new stage. Understanding the current situation requires reaching out to include an understanding of the internal politics of Zaire and the policies of the external powers in the region. In fact, the peoples of the region are faced with a new series of "convergent catastrophes" which are both independent in origin and interdependent in their evolution. This analysis, written within the first week of the latest crisis in Zaire, tries to sketch out the complex parameters of these various dramas. Though much has happened in the weeks since this short assessment was written, the basic contours presented here are still valid; it may, therefore, still be useful to retain a view of the broader regional and historical perspective presented here, for the events of November 1996 may well have powerful repercussions on the political and social transformations yet to come.

    The USAID Central African Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE) is a 20-year regional initiative that began in September 1995. See also:
    CARPE News

    Goals
    Where CARPE Works CARPE was intended to coordinate work on identifying and establishing the conditions and practices required to reduce deforestation and loss of biological diversity in Central Africa. Although CARPE has been a nine-country, thirteen-partner project, under the new Strategic Objective the number of partners has increased. Its U.S.-based partners work with African NGOs, research and education organizations, government agencies, and private-sector consultants. Through these partners CARPE has engaged a variety of African stakeholders in evaluating threats to forests in Central Africa and identifying opportunities for sustainable forest management. After seven years of operation, CARPE is shifting its strategic focus and changing the location of its management functions. In its first phase, CARPE’s partners have focused on increasing our knowledge of Central African forests and biodiversity, and building institutional and human resources capacity. In the next thirteen years, however, CARPE partners aim to apply and implement sustainable natural resources management practices in the field with an added emphasis on the US contribution to the CBFP. CARPE will also improve environmental governance in the region, and strengthen natural resources monitoring capacity.
