Burundi is the small heart-shaped country in the middle of Africa, between Tanzania and Democratic Republic of Congo, just below Rwanda. It’s about the same size as Belgium. It is close to the equator, but because of the altitude, most of the year it is around 20oC. There are about 7 million people, they speak Kirundi and French. Life is quite hard if you are Burundian; the average life expectancy is 40 years and only half of the population can read and write. There has been political instability since the president was assassinated in 1993, but there is now a peace process.
Kirundi word for the day is BGAKEYE - Good Morning (the day breaks).
