The Barundi are a culturally and linguistically homogenous group of people living mostly in the Republic of Burundi, a small landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of east central Africa. Like in neighboring Rwanda, the hierarchical relations between peoples of ethnic Hutu, Tutsi and Twa identities has been the most important aspect of social and political organization in Burundi. Exaggerated during the colonial period, and strategically mobilized by ethnic politicians in the context of post independence transformation, this differentiation has been associated with cyclical violence in the region. Painful legacies of this cycle include the genocide of Hutu by Tutsi in Burundi (1972), of Tutsi and Hutu by Hutu in Rwanda (1994) and of Hutu by Tutsi in Congo (1996-1997).
