In Congo DRC, the dominant topicality is that of the elections with the first quotas of the European Union with Kinshasa to make safe the elections-.En Africa, it is in Sudan (Darfur) that there is the most news Sudan does not want more troops of the UN.

In Burundi, the government remains without question the actor n°1. It is followed by the political parties very far behind. Comes then the civil society and the Diaspora which appreciated the last visit of President NKURUNZIZA in ITALY and Scandinavia.
With the government, the most active ministry is that of the Home Office - with a police force which is increasingly visible (15%) -.  The ministries for agriculture, public works, solidarity main roads come thereafter concerning the problems involved in the environment and the hunger relief etc (15%).  The Ministry for Foreign Office comes afterwards with 13%.  The ministry which follows is that of Health (11%) etc

One week which will have been ultra sedentary - with the police searching at a deputy NYANGOMA Léonard who had weapons and of ammunition at his place - whereas the entire government is mobilized in a campaign of disarm Burundian society, followed by the policy, with a concern socio-economic step very glittering - the strike of Profs which continues - and a justice all the same in light rise - appearance before the Burundian justice of Mr. Nyangoma Léonard, ex-leader of the Burundian rebellion found in possession of weapons and ammunition -. 
An opposition which remains leader on the level of the media cover of its political actions with nearly 69%. The Burundians hardline (or organization with ethnic separatist ideology) is to 15%. Astonishing fact, the EDBH precedes the EDBT which misses this week. The political topic of the week relates to the negotiations in progress with DAR.  UPRONA and the MRC as left the governmental coalition are most visible with 16%. While observing, that their remarks are those of opponent to the governmental action.   The CNDD-FDD remains a party died with 0% since nearly 2 weeks:  Not a word.  One can speak about an opposition to nearly 100% to media space.
The Burundian civil society - near to the UPRONA- remains with the control of the civil life. It comparable with the organizations is integrated of the old single party. The tradition is respected.  The other ideological currents did not develop their civil society yet.  The international civil society (ONGs) occupies the second place.  Total absence of a civil society with goal social main road whereas the country needs some harshly.
The government is very mobilized on the sedentary question for this period with 61%. Urban criminality occupies nearly 35% of the sedentary question. The question of the refugees continues with 28%… the FNL-PALIPEHUTU passes from 10% to 3% sedentary space.
