Burundi Program Featured on NPR's <i>Weekend Edition Sunday</i>

National Public Radio reporter Marianne McCune attended an Africa Program-sponsored training of the Integrated High Command of the Burundian police forces, in February 2005, as part of the ongoing Burundi Leadership Training Program (BLTP).

Her report, which originally aired on July 17th 2005, outlines the challenges that Burundians face on the long path to peace, and describes a BLTP training workshop designed to facilitate decision-making across ethnic and political divisions.
