Abstract

The Security Council continued to be actively involved with the situation in Burundi throughout the reporting periods. I In his report2 of 29 October 1996, the Secretary-General informed the Security Council of the prevailing political situation in Burundi. He noted that the most important development since the coup d'etat on 25 July 1996 was the determination shown by the new regime to consolidate power and to comply with the requirements of the countries of the subregion for lifting of sanctions. Among the important developments cited, were the removal from their posts, of the Chiefs of the General Staff of the army and the gendarmerie cited in the report of the International Commission of Inquiry in Burundi for their role in the coup d'etat. No legal proceedings had, however, been instituted against them. The restoration of the National Assembly and the lifting of the ban on political parties was yet another positive development. While these were encouraging signs, the Secretary- General noted that the situation was still worrisome. There was continuing civil war; and had cost an estimated 10,000 casualties since the coup d'etat of 25 July 1996. At the Arusha Regional Summit, held on 12 November 1996, the
