Abstract
In this chapter attention is turned towards the discourses related to the sanctions imposed on Burundi during the internal conflict between 1996 and 1999.

The objective of this chapter is to examine the texts and discourses preceding and following the regional imposition of sanctions on Burundi. Who imposed the sanctions? In what sort of context, and with what justifications were they imposed?
