Description

The Peace Process in Burundi

UN peacekeeping has often met its toughest challenges in the Great Lakes region of Africa.

Can the people of Burundi - with help from the United Nations - avoid the tragic fate of Rwanda in the 1990's, and the civil strife that still plagues the Democratic Republic of Congo? Can peace be durable in one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world? Will the party that claimed responsibility for the atrocities at the Gatumba refugee camp in 2004 be brought into the peace process?

Those are some of the questions discussed in this edition of World Chronicle, together with the UN's Special Representative to Burundi, Carolyn McAskle.
