The Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement, widely known as the Arusha Accords (French: Accords d'Arusha), was a transitional peace treaty signed on 28 August 2000 which brought the Burundian Civil War to an end between most armed groups.[a] Negotiations for the agreement were mediated by former Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere from 1996 until his death in October 1999, and thereafter by former South African president Nelson Mandela.[1]
The accords were based on four points of agreement:[1]
- A power-sharing formula, based on an agreed formula of ethnic quotas in politics
- Representation of all parties in the state bureaucracy
- Constitutional restrictions to prevent any single party becoming excessively powerful
- Pathways to integrate former rebels and minority groups in the Burundian armed forces.
The central tenets of the Arusha Accords were subsequently added to the 2005 Constitution of Burundi.[1]
Notes
edit- a.^ Further parties that had not participated in the talks continued to fight. CNDD-FDD continued fighting until a separate ceasefire agreement was reached in 2002 and Palipehutu-FNL reached a further ceasefire agreement in 2006.
