Political Chronicles of the African Great Lakes Region 2017
Continuing the tradition of L'Afrique des grands lacs. Annuaire, this companion volume to Conjonctures de l'Afrique Centrale offers a survey of political developments in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda in 2016-2017. In all these countries, the question of presidential term limits has been a major political issue. Having been re-elected for an unconstitutional third term in 2015, Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza is preparing a constitutional amendment designed to further extend his tenure. In the DRC, President Joseph Kabila overstayed his term by repeatedly delaying elections. The Rwandan constitution was amended in 2015 to allow President Paul Kagame to be re-elected in 2017 and to possibly stay in power until 2034. In Uganda, where there have been no term limits since 2005, a constitutional amendment removed the presidential age limit in 2017, thus allowing President Yoweri Museveni an unlimited tenure in office.

Annuaire, ce volume qui accompagne Conjonctures de l’Afrique Centrale, présente un aperçu de l’évolution politique au Burundi, en République démocratique du Congo, au Rwanda et en Ouganda en 2016-2017. La question de la limitation du nombre de mandats présidentiels a été commune à ces quatre pays. Après sa réélection inconstitutionnelle à un troisième mandat en 2015, le président burundais Pierre Nkurunziza prépare une révision constitutionnelle qui devrait lui permettre de rester au pouvoir après 2020. En RDC, le président Joseph Kabila est resté en fonction au-delà de son mandat par des reports répétés de l’élection. La constitution rwandaise a été amendée en 2015 afin de permettre au président Paul Kagame d’être réélu en 2017 et de rester possiblement au pouvoir jusqu’en 2034. En Ouganda, où la limitation n’existe plus depuis 2005, un amendement constitutionnel a abrogé la limite d’âge en 2017, ainsi permettant au président Yoweri Museveni de rester indéfiniment en fonction.<br />
