The Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement was signed on August 28, 2000, in Arusha, Tanzania, concluding negotiations mediated first by Julius Nyerere and then, after his death in 1999, by Nelson Mandela, to end the Burundian Civil War. It was signed by the Burundian government, the National Assembly and a coalition of 17 political parties, and it set a power-sharing formula of 60 percent Hutu and 40 percent Tutsi representation in cabinet along with equal Hutu-Tutsi representation in the military and police leadership and a guarantee of at least 30 percent women in ministerial posts. Two major Hutu rebel groups, the CNDD-FDD and Palipehutu-FNL, did not sign at the time and only reached separate ceasefires in 2002 and 2006, and the framework was later folded into the 2005 constitution of Burundi.
