Biography ๐Ÿ“… 28 August 2000 ๐Ÿ“ South Africa

As facilitator after the death of Julius Nyerere, Mandela helped bring Burundian political actors to the negotiating table. The agreement addressed power-sharing, political transition and the causes of conflict, though major armed groups did not sign on the initial date. Mandelaโ€™s mediation extended his experience of negotiated transition to another African context, while the agreementโ€™s implementation remained a task for Burundians themselves.
