Genosida-genosida Burundi
Sejak Burundi merdeka pada 1962, terdapat dua peristiwa yang disebut genosida di negara tersebut. Pembunuhan massal 1972 suku Hutu oleh tentara yang didominasi suku Tutsi,[1] dan pembunuhan massal 1993 suku Tutsi oleh penduduk mayoritas Hutu yang disebut sebagai genosida dalam laporan akhir Komisi Penyelidikan Internasional untuk Burundi yang diserahkan kepada Dewan Keamanan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa pada 1996.[2][3]

Demografi Burundi pada 1960an dan 1970an meliputi 86 persen Hutu, 13 persen Tutsi, dan 1 persen Twa (Mann, M., 2005. The Dark Side of Democracy, halaman 431). Pada sebagian besar periode tersebut, Tutsi hampir mengutamakan monopoli atas pemerintahan senior dan jabatan-jabatan militer. Burundi meraih kemerdekaannya dari Belgia pada 1962, dan pemilihan pasca-kemerdekaan pertama diadakan pada Mei 1965. Kandidat-kandidat Hutu meraih kemenangan, menduduki 23 kursi dari total 33 kursi. Namun, setelah melantik seorang perdana menteri Hutu, raja Mwambutsa IV melantik salah satu teman Tutsi-nya. Pada 18 Oktober 1965, suku Hutu, yang marah dengan keputusan raja, mengupayakan sebuah kudeta. Raja melarikan diri dari negara tersebut, tetapi kudeta gagal.
