History

On 29 April 1972, a massacre took place here.[1] Local Hutu gendarmes in Bururi drove out military and civil government control of the Tutsi military regime of Micombero. A republic was declared, and a week later suppressed by Burundian troops. Subsequent government reprisals against Hutu intelligentsia has been referred to as a 'partial genocide'.

gollark: Do we need all these channels?!!??
gollark: They might be. You're only seeing the best/most important people around on Earth, who are more likely than average to have bloodlines.
gollark: It would be interesting to know exactly why the "system" is way more concerned with human-recognizable things than our laws of physics, and also why basically everyone is humanlike mentally despite entirely different evolutionary paths. Unfortunately, all the fictional things I know in this sort of setting just handwave it.
gollark: Ideally, pylon-of-civilization-hunting von Neumann machines, but those might not be practical yet.
gollark: The obvious solution to this """voting"" is to send really fast people out to gather all pylons of civilization and move them to a central base.
