The year was marked by initial deadlock followed by clear but slow progress in the peace process with the ‘Parti pour la Libération du Peuple Hutu-Forces Nationales de Libération’ (Palipehutu-FNL) rebel movement. The rebel leadership returned to Bujumbura in May. To put an end to an institutional stalemate in the National Assembly, 22 dissident former ‘Conseil National pour la Défense de la Démocratie-Forces pour la Défense de la Démocratie’ (CNDD-FDD) MPs were expelled and replaced by party loyalists. The UN Security Council extended the mandate of the UN Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB) until 31 December 2009. GDP growth rose to 4.5%, while inflation peaked at around 22%. Donors and the IMF were moderately satisfied with the implementation of PRSP policies.
