Outline of Burundi (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Republic of Burundi is a small sovereign country located in the Great Lakes region of Africa. Burundi is bordered by Rwanda on the north, Tanzania on the south and east, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the west. Although the country is landlocked, much of its western border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika. The country's modern name is derived from its Bantu language, Kirundi. Geographically isolated, facing population pressures and having sparse resources, Burundi has the lowest GDP per capita in the world, arguably making it the poorest country on the planet. One scientific study of 178 nations rated Burundi's population as having the lowest satisfaction with life of all.
