Burundian Civil War

ND – MPE: 0.23

The article called “Burundi: Post-election killings and civil war” on the website “Mass Atrocity Endings” cites estimates for the number of civilians killed from 1993 to 2005 in Burundi, which range from 0.15 to 0.3 million. A large number of civilians died in camps after forced resettlement.

I choose 0.23 million as the most plausible estimate for the number of civilians killed by nondemocratic forces.

A 1997 report by Human Rights Watch called “Stoking the Fires – Military Assistance and Arms Trafficking in Burundi” shows that France supported the Burundian government with arms and military training until 1996.
