The East African countries of Rwanda and Burundi are home to an ethnic group known as the Tutsis. The political history of these countries revolve around the expansion and evolution of the Tutsi ethnicity.

has much greater chances of stopping advancement and more likely to fall prey to poverty. Two African countries, Burundi and Burkina Faso, both had very similar rates of economic growth until Burundi broke into a civil war during the 1990s. By the end of the civil war, Burundi had over 300,000 deaths and Burkina Faso's economy was two and a half times richer (The Economist).
