Stef Vandeginste (IOB, Univ of Antwerp) * Research on the rise, functionality & decline of power-sharing in Burundi * Tweeting docs does not mean endorsing them
Excited to share my new paper in Nationalism and Ethnic Politics on power-sharing and regionalism in Burundi (1988-2023). I find that power-sharing didn’t reduce regionalism in political institutions—it only displaced the epicenter of political power. tandfonline.com/eprint/V2KRF…
Very happy to finally see this out in the world!

Paths to Forgetting by Andrea Purdeková.
This book explores how different war-peace transitions in Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya shape public memory and public amnesia of atrocity.

For the 1st time since the introduction of multi-partyism in 1992, Burundi's national assembly will be entirely composed of MPs of 1 party (apart from 3 Twa who remain to to be coopted, Art 169 Constitution). No other party obtained 2% of the votes at the 5 June "elections".
Législatives 2025 – Résultats nationaux :
Le @CnddFdd remporte une victoire écrasante avec 96,61 % des voix.
@UPRONA suit avec 1,38 %, puis @CnlBurundi avec 0,58 %.
Tous les sièges à l’Assemblée reviennent au parti au pouvoir.
En 2020, lors d'une cérémonie en présence de la presse, des diplomates, etc., la CENI a proclamé des résultats électoraux qu'elle a corrigés 2 jours après.
Il sera donc intéressant de voir combien de versions des résultats seront annoncés en 2025.
