 * Opinion:** all three sides were wrong because they were wrong about fighting over something that was really stupid and silly and also not worth fighting for.


 * Name of Conflict:** Burundian Civil war


 * When:** **1993 - 2006**
 * Where:** Burundi, Africa


 * Who:** It started as a major fight that was between two tribes of Burundi, Tutsi and Hutu.


 * Why:** It mostly happened because of a rivalry. The Hutu and the Tutsi tribal groups in Burundi were the starters of the war. A Hutu man, Melchior Ndadaye, won an election for president. But the Tutsi had been in power for a very long time, and highly resented this, so Tutsi military officers murdered him. So there was a war about it.


 * Winner of Conflict:** It ended in an agreement to cease fire (ceasefire agreement) around 2003, but it started again in 2004 going into 2006. They made another peace agreement and that seemed to stop it.


 * Result/Effects of Conflict:** There were many casualties of all kinds of people. Thousands of Hutu people were killed, and the other side didn’t do so hot either. Most of the civilians got out into neighboring countries, but there were still many innocent people killed.

 * Opinion:** I don’t exactly agree with either side, but there is sort of an obvious thing that really could’ve been stopped. If it wasn’t for the Tutsi’s reaction to the elections and them killing the Hutu President, there wouldn’t have been a war at all.
