BURUNDI: POWER VACUUM RISKS UPROOTING SMOOTH POLITICAL TRANSITION
Wed, 10 June 2020
A carefully staged political transition has been uprooted by the passing of Burundi’s long-time president. A power vacuum will now be contested by the late leader’s loyalists and a more moderate faction. Security forces, ethnic militia groups, and neighbouring countries risk being drawn into a political dispute that imperils the country’s economic recovery at the same time as the impact of the pandemic is cutting demand for exports.
