Burundi, officially: Republika y'u Burundi; République du Burundi; Republic of Burundi is a small country in the Great Lakes region of East Africa. The country gained independence from Belgium on July 1st, 1962 and its capital (and largest city) is Bujumbura. As of mid 2006 Burundi has an estimated population of 8,090,068. Roughly 85% of the population are of Hutu ethnic origin; most of the remaining population are Tutsi, with a minority of Twa (Pygmy), and a few thousand Europeans and South Asians. The largest religion is Roman Catholicism (62%), followed by indigenous beliefs (23%) and a minority of Protestants (5%) and Muslims (10%). The country suffers sporadic attempts at genocide, the worst being in in 1972 where an estimated 250,000 Hutu and moderate Tutsi died.

Beans are the staple of Burundian cuisine and the typical carbohydrate sources are beans, plantains, bananas and corn. Like many East African cuisines there is a strong Asian influence on Burundian cookery, including the use of hot spices and the prevalence of Chapatis at meals. |
