Burundi, officially
the Republic of Burundi, is a small country in
the Great Lakes region of Africa. The former name was Urundi. Urundi
is the shortened form of "Urundi Rwanda" ("The other
Rwanda"), as the Belgian colonial powers formerly referred
to the territory. It is bordered by Rwanda on the north, Tanzania
on the south and east, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
on the west. Although the country is landlocked, much of its western
border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika. The country's modern name
is derived from its Bantu language, Kirundi.
Geographically isolated, facing population pressures
and having sparse resources, Burundi is one of the poorest and most
conflict-ridden countries in Africa and in the world. Its small
size belies the magnitude of the problems it faces in reconciling
the claims of the Tutsi minority with the Hutu majority
