Context Analysis
As of 30 November 2020, the United Republic of Tanzania hosted 149,847 Burundian refugees who arrived in the country in several waves since 2015, while the Republic of Rwanda hosted 67,903. Combined, these two countries host 70 per cent of all Burundian refugees in the Great Lakes region (UNHCR).
Over the past months, since the inauguration of the new government in Burundi in June 2020, there has been a remarkable improvement of the political and security situation in the country.
