Are the Brundians Christians or Moslims?
From Wikipedia:
The Twa, Hutu and Tutsi peoples have lived in Burundi for at least five hundred years and, for over two hundred years, Burundi was ruled as a kingdom. At the beginning of the twentieth century, however, Germany and Belgium occupied the region and Burundi and Rwanda became a European colony known as Ruanda-Urundi. Social differences between the Tutsi and Hutu have since contributed to political unrest in the region, leading to civil war in the middle of the twentieth century. Presently, Burundi is governed as a presidential representative democratic republic.
Burundi is one of the five poorest countries in the world. It has one of the lowest per capita GDPs of any nation in the world.[6] The country has suffered from warfare, corruption, poor access to education and the effects of HIV/AIDS. Burundi is densely populated and experiences substantial emigration. According to a 2012 DHL Global Connectedness Index, Burundi is the least globalised of 140 surveyed countries.[7]
Most are Christian - somebody gave an article that says the country is 80% Christian - but nine months ago the Muslims in the north were joined by foreign Islamists to effect a coup against the Christian president who had been in office about ten years. So right now there is a Muslim president but he claims to have no control over the Islamist thugs he unified in order to oust the old president. Meanwhile the Christians have formed militias to protect themselves and are hoping that France and the UN will stop these Islamist terrorists from terrorizing the country. The Christians want things to go back to normal. The Muslim president says he wants things to go back to peaceful but can’t control the people who put him in power. He’s told the nation’s soldiers to stay in their barracks and let the French re-establish the rule of law there.
