Burundi - Republic of Burundi
The Republic of Burundi is a small country in the Great Lakes region of Africa. 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.
