Annuaire, this companion volume to Conjonctures de l'Afrique centrale (Paris, L'Harmattan) offers a survey of political developments in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda throughout 2019. In Burundi, the year has been marked by the run-up to the 2020 elections. President Nkurunziza announced he would not stand for another term, which could make the contest more open. However, the opposition inside and outside the country remained weak, and political space continued to be constrained. The DRC has been marked by the search for a viable cohabitation between President Tshisekedi's Cap pour le changement (CACH) and his predecessor Joseph Kabila's Front commun pour le Congo (FCC). Despite some incidents between these political platforms, the two men have avoided institutional stalemate, but Tshisekedi's room for manoeuvre has proved limited. Insecurity in the east of the country continues to claim many civilian lives. Rwanda was marked by business as usual, with an autocratic regime suppressing dissident voices and committing considerable human rights abuses. However, technocratic governance remains good. Uganda is gearing up for elections in 2021, and President Museveni will stand for a sixth term, and possibly for a presidency for life. Faced with resistance, the regime is attempting to remain in control, and is doing so heavy-handedly. At the regional level, relations between the DRC and Rwanda have improved, but those between Rwanda on the one hand, and Burundi and Uganda on the other, have remained hostile and marred by serious incidents. 606 $aBurundi$2bicssc 606 $aComparative politics$2bicssc 606 $aDemocratic Republic of Congo (Zaire)$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical geography$2bicssc 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 606 $aReligion & politics$2bicssc 606 $aRwanda$2bicssc 606 $aUganda$2bicssc 610 $aAfrica 610 $aAfrican lakes 610 $aBurundi 610 $aCongo 610 $ademocratic republic of Congo 610 $adevelopment 610 $aelections 610 $aJoseph Kabila 610 $apolitics 610 $apresident Museveni 610 $apresident Nkurunziza 610 $apresident Tshisekedi 610 $aRwanda 610 $aUganda 615 7$aBurundi 615 7$aComparative politics 615 7$aDemocratic Republic of Congo (Zaire) 615 7$aPolitical geography 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 7$aReligion & politics 615 7$aRwanda 615 7$aUganda 700 $aReyntjens$b Filip$4edt$0600465 702 $aReyntjens$b Filip$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476892403321 996 $aPolitical Chronicles of the African Great Lakes Region 2019 = Chroniques Politiques de L'Afrique des grands Lacs 2019$93038806 997 $aUNINA
