Burundi
Burundi (, ), officially the Republic of Burundi (, ; , or ), is a landlocked country amid the African Great Lakes region where East and Central Africa converge. It is bordered by Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and southeast, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west; Lake Tanganyika lies along its southwestern border. The capital is Gitega, having moved from Bujumbura in February 2019. 
The Twa, Hutu and Tutsi peoples have lived in Burundi for at least 500
of internal reconciliation and democratization within all the states of the region to promote a stable, democratic community of nations that will work toward mutual social, economic, and security interests on the continent.
In 2011, the US sent a military aid package worth $45 million to Burundi and Uganda, which included four drone aircraft.
Relations severely deteriorated in 2015 when Nkurunziza ran and won for a third term and Burundi faced sanctions.
