There are many plateaus and mountains in Burundi, most of which are composed of the plateau on the east side of the East African Rift Valley, with an average elevation of 1600 meters above sea level, which is known as the "mountain country". According to the topography of Burundi, Burundi can be divided into three regions: the western plain, along the Ruzizi River, the Rift Albrtine plain, at 774 to 1000 m above sea level; the central and western mountains, with an average elevation of 1700 m, with the highest peak located in Heha in the southeast of Bujumbura, at 2670 m above sea level; and in the east-central plateau region, at 1000 to 2000 m above sea level, Burundi's mineral deposits are mainly nickel, peat, cerium, tantalum and tin. The nickel deposit is about 300 million tons and the taste is 1.5%. Peat reserves are about 500 million tons. Phosphate reserves 30.5 million tons, taste 11.1-12.6%. The limestone reserves are 2 million tons. Gold deposits are widely distributed, with large reserves in the northwest, and most of them were smuggled abroad in the 1930s. In 1993, forest coverage was 5% of the land area, but it was rapidly reduced to 3% due to fire and deforestation.

There are two major ethnic groups in Burundi, and only about 15 percent of the Tutsi have ruled the country since the 16th century, controlling the civilian population, which is mainly made up of Hutu, plus a very small number of indigenous Twa. This abnormal social structure occupied by ethnic minorities planted the evil seed of national instability and reached its peak in October 1993. Just four months after taking office, Melchior Ndadaye, Burundi's first ever Hutu head of state and the first democratically elected president, was assassinated by a mainly Tutsi-controlled military. The death of Ndadaya led to a comprehensive ethnic conflict in which at least 200000 of the population of both sides were slaughtered, of which 65000 Tutsi were slaughtered to fewer than 5000. The massacre lasted until 2002, when the Tutsi government finally signed an international armistice with four different Hutu rebels, while the ceasefire agreement with the last rebel group, the Forces nationales de Liberation (FNL) (French: Conseil National Pour la D é fense de la D é mocratie-Forces pour la D é fense de la D é mocratie, NCDD-FDD), was signed in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on September 7, 2006.

Burundi coffee was introduced by Belgian colonists in 1930. Unfortunately, many of these farms are on the border with war-torn Rwanda, putting pressure on coffee production.
