“This situation report gives an update of the military and political situation in Burundi, providing some comments on the possibility of a UN peacekeeping mission taking over AMIB. The security situation in Burundi has improved considerably since
November 2003. For the first time in ten years, the country seems to be moving on a definite path towards putting an end to the civil war. As was discussed in detail in previous ASAP situation reports, the most significant step in this direction was the inclusive cease-fire agreement signed on 16
November 2003 by the TGoB and the CNDD-FDD movement of Jean Pierre Nkurunziza in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.”
