Africa should rise to save burundi

Being the smallest African nation with a high population density and a lot of poverty, the Burundi population is divided between two main ethnic groups: the Hutu and the Tutsi. The Hutu form about 85% of the populace, while the Tutsi, with about 14%, from a small but politically and economically powerful minority. Burundi's military history is filled with ethnic conflict and a genocide between the Burundian Tutsi and Hutu. The situation of civil war in the country should be mitigated by African countries being a small country with high rise of unrest and peace has become history the government of Kenya and other neighboring countries should rise for the people of Africa and help our brothers why should they wait for other countries and yet they can help the situation and bring back the sanity in the country. Back from 1965 till today there has been no order for our smallest nation.

Major cause of this civil are high levels of poverty, failed political institutions and economic dependence on natural resources which should be done through the help of the East African countries .Our leaders should lead by bringing both parties together through anyway possible to avert more live loss. African leaders should also endeavour to promote the rule of law.
