U.S. officials are increasingly anxious about the potential for mass violence in Burundi, a small African country whose troops have received significant American support and play a major role in the fight against Islamist militants.
U.S. officials, academics and other observers said Monday that weeks of unrest spurred by the Burundian president’s decision to stand for a third term and a failed coup attempt have reached a tipping point. While warning that the situation is fluid and could stabilize, some alluded — cautiously — to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, which neighbors Burundi and has a similar ethnic make-up.
