Independence Day: July 1, 2010Independence Day is a public holiday in Burundi. After Germany’s defeat in World War I, Belgium was handed control of parts of east Africa, including the area that is now known as Burundi. Through indirect rule, Belgium encouraged the reigning Tutsi tribe to dominate relations in the region, leaving the Hutu tribes with little. The imbalances that this caused, coupled with Belgium’s allowance for the creation of political parties in 1948, led to a powerful independence movement in the country. Burundi eventually went on to gain independence from Belgium in 1962, and that independence is still observed today. Reunification Day
