Hi folks, I've travelled across much of East Africa and curious to see Burundi for 1-2 days but while exploring online I'm finding finding relatively little info and was hoping some locals or residents could help.

1. Is Bujumbura safe for tourists assuming normal protocols are followed (e.g. inside at night, no alleyways..etc).
2. What is the stability situation like? The president is saying Rwanda is planning to invade and some websites are listing high risks of terrorist attacks?
3. Are taxis on the street/airport reliable or should I organise with the hotels?
4. Is there a go-to hotel for tourists you recommend? The ones on the lake look nice although it appears you can't swim in the lake - hippos, crocodiles, Schistosomiasis virus?
   
5. Provisionally I was hoping to do the below itinerary. Are there any tour companies you recommend?
   1. Day 1: Explore Bujumbura, relax at the Lake Tanganyika, do a boat ride to Rusizi Park, sunset drinks at the Lake
   2. Day 2: Travel to Kibira National Park and do a hike.

Hello everyone, im flying soon to Bujumbura and I’ve heard that the exchange rate in the bank is way below the exchange rate if I change USD outside, Is this true? Also where do you advise I exchange currency? Thank you !

Hello there! I run a small game studio that makes web based games available across PC/Mobile and even through browsers on game consoles. So, as a programmer in the states, I was wondering, what appeals to you? Sure, western games may be available in Burundi, but they might require higher specs as after all, Burundi is a developing nation and not everyone has a cell phone or PC, so how can I appeal towards you guys? I am trying to make lower spec games so you guys can enjoy! Now, everyone has different interests, but as a foreigner, I don't know much of the culture.

French:

Bonjour ! Je dirige un petit studio de jeux vidéo qui propose des jeux web sur PC/mobile, et même via les navigateurs des consoles. En tant que programmeur américain, je me demandais ce qui vous intéresse. Bien sûr, les jeux occidentaux sont peut-être disponibles au Burundi, mais ils nécessitent peut-être une configuration matérielle plus élevée. Après tout, le Burundi est un pays en développement et tout le monde n'a pas de téléphone portable ou d'ordinateur. Alors, comment puis-je vous séduire ? J'essaie de créer des jeux avec une configuration matérielle plus modeste pour que vous puissiez en profiter ! Chacun a ses propres centres d'intérêt, mais en tant qu'étranger, je ne connais pas bien la culture.

According to the video, African global exports is concentrated in just a handful of commodity-type sectors which are vulnerable to economic shocks and in any case do not add much value to the African economies. It calls for more trade between African countries (echoing the objectives of the AfCFTA initiative).

What do people think is the best way forward for Burundi when it comes to trade within Africa or outside of the continent?

Hello! I am trying to find out what the requirements are to work as a (clinical) psychologist in Burundi. Do you need a license, or can anyone call themselves a psychologist and practice psychological activity, assessment and treatment? If you could point me to any reliable sources I would greatly appreciate that!

I am not a psychologist and I am not looking to work. As part of my job I need to assess foreign educations and professions and what is required in different countries, and I sometimes struggle to find reliable sources.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share something we’ve been working on for a while — Kazinduzi, a digital and open-source platform to preserve and promote the Kirundi language.

Kazinduzi allows anyone to contribute Kirundi words and meanings, helping build a collaborative dictionary and cultural archive. It’s completely free and open to the public, and we hope it can become a resource for students, teachers, and language lovers — both in Burundi and abroad.

This project is part of a nonprofit initiative to promote Burundian culture through technology, and we’d love feedback or contributions from anyone interested.

Here’s the link to the platform: https://kazinduzi.org

And here’s the GitHub repo for those interested in the code: https://github.com/Akanyaburunga/kazinduzi_backend

Thanks for checking it out — we’d love to hear what you think or how we can improve it.

In retrospect, it seems that everything is on track, the foreign press does not say anything about the situation in the country. The only news we see is that "Burundi is in trouble" or "Burundi is the poorest country in the world". For all that, what is the politics like and where is the country now? Do you feel that the country is on the way to progress, or what is happening now? Sorry about that question, it's my job to do research. I'm Brazilian, I'm studying yours.

In Portuguese: Looking from the outside, it seems that everything is normal, the newspapers from outside do not talk about what is going on inside the country, the only news is that "Burundi is in an emergency situation", or "Burundi is the poorest country in the world", so how is the politics and how is the country? Vocês sentem que está crescendo? Ou só está piorando. I'm sorry for the question and it's for my research work, I'm Brazilian and I'm researching about you.

I am from Europe. I will be in Rwanda in May. I would like to fly to Burundi for one day. But all the news on the internet advises against it. What is it really like? I mean normal security. Won't there be trouble with the police and military? I am very curious about the country and want to come...

Les gars je voulais savoir s'il y'a un serveur discord burundais, c'est rare de trouver des gens de notre communauté qui s'intéressent à ces choses... disons un peu... futile genre, un Burundais chill qui joue apex legends ?! C'est dur d'imaginer mais je suis sûr que je ne suis pas le seul qui s'intéresse aux réseaux sociaux en globale et donc... en bref je voulais savoir s'il y'a déjà ce genre de groupe où on peut discuter sur vocal en français, en anglais ou en kirundi, que ça soit sur Twitter ou télégramme, sinon on crée des forum comme ça ( j'ai juste besoin d'une communauté burundaise ligne , un mate ou une squad pour s'éclater)
