Burundi: Government Signs Peace Deal

Burundi's government signed a comprehensive power-sharing plan with the country's largest rebel group on Sunday, a major step toward ending a 10-year war that has killed at least 200,000 people. The peace agreement gives majority Hutus more weight in the security forces as well as bigger role in both the executive and legislative branches of government, long dominated by minority Tutsis. It incorporates cease-fires that have been largely ignored.
