This report examines the condition of the state institutions in Burundi and the risk of growing authoritarianism in the country. It analyzes the government’s abuses of power and the institutional weaknesses making them possible. It states that there are few signs of violent opposition as yet. However, recent actions, in particular the arrest of leading opposition figures and journalists on questionable grounds, could hamper the implementation of the ceasefire agreement signed with the FNL rebels in September 2006.
