Causes of the violence and insecurity in Burundi Sample Clauses

Causes of the violence and insecurity in Burundi. The causes of the violence and security in Burundi are: 1. The breaking apart of the pre-colonial political and administrative equilibrium among the Baganwa, the Batutsi and the Bahuru triggered off by the implementation of the administrative reforms of the 1930s which resulted in the dismissal from their administrative positions of most of the Hutu chiefs and some of the Tutsi chiefs. 2. A discriminatory system which did not offer equal educational access to all Burundian youths from all ethnic groups. 3. The erosion of some basic traditions, cultural norms and values that had hitherto been the foundations of the unity, solidarity and cohesion of the fabric of Burundian society and of Burundians. 4. The disruption of the traditional socio-political system in effect under the monarchy, which led to erosion of the bonds that provided the foundations of Burundi's political stability. 5. Political instability consequent upon the undermining of the legitimacy of the post-colonial institutions, accentuated by: a. The poor conception of power; lack of good leadership, lack of respect for the law and demonization of political opponents; b. The assassination of great Burundian leaders (Rwagasore, Ngendandumwe, Ndadaye); c. Impunity of those committing political crimes and human rights violations and practising regionalism, patronage, cronyism and corruption; d. The struggle for influence by the great powers, foreign interference in Burundi's internal affairs and the proliferation of arms in the region; e. Failure to satisfy the basic needs of the citizens as a result of economic underdevelopment and lack of a sound economic policy that led to disillusionment and an erosion of support for the political system; f. The distortion of Burundi's history; g. The ideology and practice of genocide and exclusion. 6. The aftermath of the colonial system, the inadequacy of the basic reforms of the institutional arrangements inherited from colonization for governance, administration and the maintenance of order and security for all. 7. The unbridled struggle for power which, following the principle that "the end justifies the means", resulted in recourse to violence and the deliberate manipulation of ethnic sentiments as legitimate methods of access to and retention of power. 8. Lack of respect by certain political actors for the basic normative rules and principles of good governance, particularly those concerning separation of the legislature, the executive and the judiciary...
