L’APPG a visité le Burundi et le Rwanda lors de sa mission sur terrain de 2007. Le présent rapport couvre la partie de la mission relative au Burundi (un rapport sur toute la mission est disponible sur notre site). A l’instar du Rwanda, le Burundi est un pays post-conflit dont l’avenir est crucial au reste de la région des Grands Lacs. En effet, de récents événements– notamment l’instabilité actuelle à l’Est du Congo – continuent à mettre en exergue le danger réel et présent d’un regain de violence dans la région ainsi que le caractère inter-lié de la menace. Ces événements soulignent aussi le besoin évident d’un engagement immédiat – tant politique que matériel – afin de prévenir une dérive bien plus dangereuse vers le conflit et le sous-développement à l’avenir.
Le peuple burundais et à leurs leaders doivent etre félicités pour la transformation remarquable intervenue dans le pays au cours de dernières années, transformation qui a grandement aidé à transcender les conflits ethniques du passé. Cependant, le pays est désespérément pauvre et se trouve à une étape où il y a un risque de regain de violence qui pourrait sérieusement affecter la région tout entière. Les bailleurs doivent honorer leur engagement et s’assurer qu’ils travaillent en coordination les uns avec les autres aussi bien qu’avec le gouvernement et la société civile. Dans le court terme, la préoccupation primordiale consiste en la conclusion d’un accord de paix définitif avec le Palipehutu-FNL. Mais il subsiste des questions importantes pour le long terme, dont la plupart portant sur la mise sur pied des éléments constitutifs d’un état fonctionnel et responsable.

The OECD Guidelines and the DRC cases
JOHANNESBURG 03 February 2012 (IRIN) - The belief that the end is nigh for Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) - a small but ruthless transnational armed group operating in four African states - underestimates its resilience and overestimates the unity and capability of the forces ranged against it, say analysts. 
NAIROBI/KINSHASA 02 February 2012 (IRIN) - The lives of thousands of HIV-positive people in the Democratic Republic of Congo are at risk as the country faces declining donor funding and a severe shortage of HIV treatment, according to Médecins Sans Frontières. 
BUJUMBURA 27 January 2012 (IRIN) - There are fears of a looming food shortage in Burundi after heavy rains damaged two successive harvests, say officials. 
NAIROBI 28 December 2011 (IRIN) - Launched in 2004, IRIN’s film unit has won numerous awards for its productions, several of which have been aired by prominent international broadcasters. Here is a list of the unit’s most-watched films in 2011. 
KAMPALA 02 December 2011 (IRIN) - Brandishing a plea for developed countries to make good their promises to reduce carbon emissions, 300 farmers, youths and activists took the scenic route to the COP17 conference in Durban, travelling more than 7,000km from Burundi in 17 days, through 10 eastern and southern African countries, aboard a convoy of buses draped in various national flags. 
POINTE NOIRE 25 January 2012 (IRIN) - Forced child labour remains rampant in Central Africa, where poverty fuels the trafficking of children from poorer countries to oil-rich states such as Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and the Republic of Congo, according to experts. 
LONDON 26 January 2012 (IRIN) - Breast cancer continues to be misunderstood, under-diagnosed and fatal, particularly in developing countries, say researchers, despite more than one million official annual diagnoses and almost half a million recorded deaths annually. 
KIGALI 09 January 2012 (IRIN) - This will be a busy year for Rwanda's health centres as the country attempts to reach its goal of medically circumcising 50 percent of men by June 2013 as part of HIV prevention efforts. 
JUBA/KAMPALA 30 January 2012 (IRIN) - Petty traders from Uganda, South Sudan's largest trading partner, crowd into Konyo Konyo market in Juba selling used clothes, vegetables and household wares. Lacking economic prospects at home, they come in the hope of finding better opportunities in Juba's booming post-war economy. 
BUNDIMASOLI 26 January 2012 (IRIN) - The marginalized western Ugandan Basua community is fighting extinction; forcibly removed from their forest home two decades ago, they have struggled to cope with modern life and have been ravaged by health crises, including HIV. 
ISIOLO, 3 February 2012 (IRIN) - Politically motivated violence in the northern Kenyan town of Moyale, which has left dozens dead and tens of thousands displaced in recent weeks, shows little sign of abating and there are fears that the clashes could continue until elections are held for new local government positions. 
LAGOS, 3 February 2012 (IRIN) - A month after an angry public launched protests across Nigeria over skyrocketing fuel prices due to the removal of a government subsidy, a measure of calm has returned and people seem to have settled into accepting a compromise. 
HARARE, 3 February 2012 (IRIN) - With global funding for HIV/AIDS on the decline, Zimbabwe's innovative AIDS levy - a 3 percent tax on income - has become a promising source of funding for the country, with a dramatic increase in revenue collected in the past two years.
