    Burundi is a small African...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Burundi is a small African country in the heart of the continent. Burundi is bordered by Congo (formerly Zaire) in the west, by Tanzania in the south and by Rwanda in the north.

    The lake Tanganyika separates Burundi from Congo in the west. The capital Bujumbura is situated by the lake Tanganyika at the north end of the lake. The areas close to the lake are lowlands with an equatorial hot climate. The highlands close to the border to Rwanda have a pleasant climate. The country has great natural beauty. Especially the highlands offer very beautiful sceneries.

    Burundi is a French speaking country. It is a former Belgian colony.

    Burundi has been suffering from similar ethnic conflicts like Rwanda. In Burundi too there two major tribes: tutsis and hutus. The tutsis have traditionally dominated the army and the higher positions in the society. The antagonism between the ethnic groups has occasionally lead to violence. During the genocide in Rwanda tensions were high in Burundi too. Burundi narrowly escaped the same fate.
