August 28 marked the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Arusha Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in Burundi. 20 years already seems so long ago, yet it is what brought peace to Burundi, even if the regime of the Conseil national pour la défense de la démocratie-Forces de défense de la démocratie (CNDD-FDD) is trying...
It is pointless to waste time believing that there will ever be a day when Burundi will be made up of a single ethnic group, “chosen by the Gods of its choice,” to the exclusion of others, who are nonetheless an inherent part of Burundian reality.
