Burundi is one of Africa’s poorest countries where over 80 per cent of the population lives below the national poverty line. It is also one of the continent’s most densely populated and land-constrained countries. Systematic divide-and-rule strategies under colonial administration helped to dissolve the unity which existed under Burundi’s ancient monarchy.

Guyana's 2006 general and regional elections were the first in recent history un-marred by post-election violence.   The polls of 1992, 1997 and 2001 were each followed by several months of heightened insecurity, injuries and deaths from public violence and ethnically motivated attacks on citizens, and loss of property to arson, provoking fears of a return to the ethnic rioting that killed hundreds in the 1960s.
