This R&D provides resources on the ongoing violence in Burundi. President Pierre Nkurunziza won a third term in July, but the opposition has disputed the results of that election as many of them boycotted it. The opposition claims that Nkurunziza could not run for a third term as the constitution and a 2005 peace treaty disallowed it. The United Nations is worried that the political dispute could lead to ethnic violence and it is wanting to bolster its presence in the country.
