Since his inauguration in 2020, President Évariste Ndayishimiye has introduced a raft of foreign and domestic policy reforms to salvage Burundi’s international reputation and restore economic partnerships. His efforts seem to be paying off, with the European Union (EU) announcing on 8 February that it will be lifting the sanctions it placed on Burundi in 2016. However, civil society organisations including Human Rights Watch, have expressed disappointment over the termination of sanctions. They worry that removing the embargoes without pre-conditions disincentivises the government from substantially improving human rights and further opening the political space.
