Burundian refugees began arriving in asylum countries in advance of President Pierre Nkurunziza’s announcement in April that he would seek a third term in office, and refugee arrivals increased following a subsequent coup attempt. Another surge in displacement began in October as the violence continued and a series of high profile assassinations and assassination attempts occurred. IDP numbers are probably very underestimated — IOM has conducted surveys of IDPs in only 2 of 18 provinces since the conflict began.
