The contentious issue of land ownership in Burundi

Land is a scarce resource in Burundi, which, together with its neighbor Rwanda is one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in Africa. In a country, where more than 90% of the population live from agriculture, access to land is a synonym for life and death. During my first stay in Burundi, I witnessed the potential explosive nature of land conflicts first hand.
