Abstract
Our contemporary world has become a theatre of fratricidal conflicts and violence, which are not only decimating people and their rights, but also forcing many people to become refugees, leading to cross-border effects that have implications for peace and security. The natural, economic and cultural resources of these people are also being destroyed. Refugees are entitled to their fundamental human rights to live with dignity and in peace in their native countries. As the President of Tanzania, Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, stated at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the United Nations General Assembly: "The return of refugees to their country of origin is a sovereign right which should not be denied. It is the ultimate testimony and guarantee of the peace so attained."1 This study intends to analyse the cross-border effects of Burundian refugees in Tanzania and its implications for peace and security. This stems from the assumption that the presence of massive Burundian refugees2 in Tanzania is a reality especially in the regions of Kigoma, Rukwa, Rulenge and Tabora. The cross-border effects are enormous. A critical analysis of the cross-border effects and their implications for peace and security is of extreme importance in the search for a lasting resolution to the refugee problemhlot only in Tanzania and Burundi but also in Africa. In order to make an adequate analysis of the cross-border effects, this study will also expound on the root causes that have led the Burundian refugees to flee to Tanzania.
