Abstract
|
|
|
|
| The Burundian Senate has embarked on an assessment of the country’s ethnic quotas as mandated by the 2018 Constitution. These quotas, a pivotal aspect of the power-sharing framework established by the 2000 Arusha Agreement, ensure representation of Hutu and Tutsi in all governmental roles and institutions. Despite fostering multi-ethnic parties, the quotas have not prevented the ruling party from consolidating power. Opinions vary on the continuing necessity of maintaining the quotas, including the prerequisite conditions for their elimination. Nevertheless, if the evaluation is conducted in good faith, this process can offer a platform to reach a shared vision of the future, including by addressing persistent challenges in governance. |
