February 16, 2016 Africa: Ghosts at the African Union Summit
"Our organisation acts as it has for the past 20 or 30 years: we
meet often, we talk too much, we always write a lot, but we don't do
enough, and sometimes nothing at all." - new African Union chair
President Idriss Déby of Chad
July 14, 2015 Burundi: Diplomacy Falling Short
As Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni travels to Burundi for yet
another attempt to mediate in the crisis caused by the determination
of President Pierre Nkurunziza to seek a third term in the elections
now scheduled for July 21, it is clear that international diplomatic
efforts are still failing to reverse increasing repression and
escalation of violence. Despite multiple mediators and international
declarations of concern, most recently calling for disarmament of
the pro-government militias and commitment to a government of
national unity, the incumbent president has good reason to conclude
that he can continue to resist the pleas of his international
critics as well as to repress internal opposition.
April 27, 2015 Burundi: On the Brink?
"The prospect of a third term for President Nkurunziza calls into
question the preservation of peace in Burundi. The president is
risking it all by trying to force his name on the ballot, against
the Catholic Church, civil society, a fraction of his own party and
most external partners. The opposition's survival is at stake and
the security forces are unsure how to react in case of violent
crisis. The situation is much more serious than the failed 2010
elections: what lies behind this new electoral cycle is the
upholding of the Arusha agreement as the foundation of Burundi's
regime." - International Crisis Group
