The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to politics and political science:
Politics– the exercise of power; process by which groups of people make collective decisions. Politics is the art or science of running governmental or state affairs (including behavior within civil governments), institutions, fields, and special interest groups such as the corporate, academic, and religious segments of society.
The Twa, Hutu and Tutsi peoples have lived in Burundi for at least five hundred years. For more than 200 years, Burundi was an independent kingdom. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Germany colonized the region. After the First World War and Germany's defeat, it ceded the territory to Belgium. The Belgians ruled Burundi and Rwanda as a European colony known as Ruanda-Urundi. Their intervention exacerbated social differences between the Tutsi and Hutu, and contributed to political unrest in the region. Burundi gained independence in 1962 and initially had a monarchy, but a series of assassinations, coups, and a general climate of regional instability culminated in the establishment of a republic and one-party state in 1966. Bouts of ethnic cleansing and ultimately two civil wars and genocides during the 1970s and again in the 1990s left the country undeveloped and its population as one of the world's poorest. 2015 witnessed large-scale political strife as President Pierre Nkurunziza opted to run for a third term in office, a coup attempt failed and the country's parliamentary and presidential elections were broadly criticized by members of the international community.
Many families in the Burundian capital have moved across town to avoid being caught in clashes between armed youths and security forces as the political violence there enters its eighth month. But as VOA’s Mohammed Yusuf reports from Bujumbura, those who have fled say life is no easier.

Concerns grow over cost, viability for Burundi's new capital
Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza announced in late 2018 he would make Gitega the new capital.
But some critics are wondering in the face of next year's general elections whether the move is political.
Bujumbura, the old capital, is an opposition base.
Others say Burundi cannot afford the relocation cost.

Human rights abuses persist in Burundi despite new gov't: UN
Human rights abuses including rape, murder and targeting of the country's youth persist in Burundi despite a change of government, a new United Nations report has revealed.
The report, released on Thursday, looks at the period preceding and following the May election of retired General Evariste Ndayishimiye, a member of the governing party who came to power after the 15-year rule of Pierre Nkurunziza.
Nkurunziza, who became president in 1995 after the country's 12-year civil war, was elected for a third term in 2015 in a poll largely boycotted by the opposition.
At least 1,200 people were killed and more than 400,000 displaced during the ensuing unrest between April 2015 and May 2017, according to the UN.
