(Al Jazeera) – The political crisis in Burundi continues unabated and with each passing day, as President Pierre Nkurunziza expresses an unwillingness to step down, Burundi descends deeper into chaos, and inches closer to another civil war. The people of this small East African country, have been forced to revisit the wounds of the long civil war that barely ended a decade earlier. Due to ongoing intimidation, mob violence, and civil unrest, almost 150,000 people, mostly women and children, have been forced to grab their modest belongings and leave the country. Some on foot, others on bicycles, refugees carried bedding, clothes and pots tucked into white straw bags across the border into Rwanda, the DR Congo, and Tanzania.
