Quick Summary

Domitien Ndayizeye served as the president of Burundi from November 2001 to April 2003 as part of a power-sharing agreement following the Arusha Agreement. He succeeded Buyoya and was succeeded by him again. Ndayizeye's presidency was part of an interim government aimed at restoring peace after years of civil war. During his term, he and rebel leaders signed peace accords that largely ended the conflict. Despite these efforts, sporadic fighting continued, and a new power-sharing constitution was promulgated in 2005, leading to the election of Pierre Nkurunziza as president.1
