The Republic of Burundi is located in Africa and bordered by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, and the southwest border on Lake Tanganyika. The population of about 10.3 million people is composed of mainly three Bantu tribes that date back to the 14th century: the Tutsis, the Hutus, and the Twa Pygmies. The government is a republic with a president as chief of state and head of government.
In early 1993, the first democratically elected president took office but was assassinated after serving only 100 days in office. Tribal warfare broke out between the Hutus and Tutsis and continued for about 12 years. About 200,000 people died and hundreds of thousands were displaced or became refugees. In 2003, an agreement allowed for power-sharing between the two groups, and in 2005, a new constitution was established.
One of the poorest countries in the world, Burundi has been adversely affected by the war, government corruption, the impact of HIV/AIDS, and poor educational opportunities.
There are many nature reserves and national parks in Burundi, such as Kibira National Park, Rusizi Natural Reserve, or the Vyanda Natural Reserve. However, tourism is not well-developed in Burundi and the infrastructure for tourists is limited.
