%X "After the signing of a peace accord it is the disarmament, demobilisation
and reintegration of the former fighting groups that is one of the first
steps towards a conflict transformation process (Kingma 2000). In most
cases, some of those who fought are, for the time being, integrated into the
subsequently downsized national army. Those who remain, often the majority,
are demobilised and reintegrated into civilian life. But how does this
process take place on site? What are the procedures involved and what are
the consequences of living together in the receiving communities? In this
article, based on a PhD thesis in progress, the question of reintegrating excombatants
after the civil war in Burundi will be discussed. At the beginning
of 2006, the four months of field research were structured around the following
guiding questions: How are ex-combatants reintegrated into their
communities in Burundi and which factors influence this reintegration? The
article will show that up to now reintegration has gone relatively well on the
social level, but has not yet started on the economic level." (author's abstract)
