Don't succumb to the temptation to close social trading positions early!

This is something which has been talked about in the markets for many years. It comes from a combination of risk aversion effects and a bias toward certainty over uncertainty. In other words, we humans generally prefer a sure gain, even when there is the prospect for a bigger one, while at the same time we prefer having the prospect for a smaller (or no) loss, rather than a sure one.
It's pretty easy to see how these biases can turn into being quick to book a gain, but giving the market a chance to turn around rather than taking a sure loss.
It is to avoid the potential negative outcomes from this bias – not making as much as we should on winning trades, and taking losses which are much bigger than they should be on the bad trades – that we introduce systems and processes in our trading. For some it goes as far as strictly mechanical trading. For others it includes rules about where to place stops and how to move them up with the market. They attempt to enforce a discipline on us to avoid allowing psychological biases like the Disposition Effect to negatively impact our performance.
Keep in mind, however, that this needs to apply to social trading as well.
In most cases, when using an auto-trading or mirror trading system like Trade Leaders you have the ability to make changes to trades that are done in your account. As a result, there may be the temptation to close out or cut-back a winning trade before it is done by the trader you are following. This is not something that is good idea.
Consider the math of trading performance. Expected returns follow this formula:
R = (win% x avg. winner) – (loss% x avg. loser)
If you close out winning trades early you are impacting the size of the avg. winner. That lowers R – the expected return. This could go so far as to produce a negative expectancy in the most sensitive systems.
In other words, as a social investor you need to ensure you abide by very similar discipline as you would if you are trading in your own right. Don't let the Disposition Effect drag down your performance.
Be sure to read the full risk disclosure before trading Forex. Please note that Forex trading involves significant risk of loss. It is not suitable for all investors and you should make sure you understand the risks involved before trading. Performance, strategies and charts shown are not necessarily predictive of any particular result. And, as always, past performance is no indication of future results. Investor returns may vary from Trade Leader returns based on slippage, fees, broker spreads, volatility or other market conditions.

Around 6 weeks ago I switched from using the iphone 3g to an android nexus one. Overall it has been a great move for me, particularly because it helps me to follow Gtd principles with greater ease.
First of all, as a gmail user, the android allows me to archive messages that aren't actionable. On the iphone there's the trash button but no archive so it wasn't any use to me for emptying my inbox. Gmail on the android is snappy and can compose messages of when offline, unlike the gmail iphone webapp.
The next killer feature is the "note to self" voice action. It is the quickest capture device i've ever used especially when a hotkey is assigned such as a long press on the search button.
Calendar snooze application is another really great feature and I often use it as a tickler file.

Question by Ashley 4 135 · Jun 06 '12 at 06:51 PM · eggs egg-whites
I am a bit sensitive to eggs, and want to try "just yolks" to see if that helps any. My question is: what do I do with the whites? Good eggs are expensive where I am, and it seems uber wasteful to just toss em. I wish I had a roommate or family member (heck, even a pet) to pawn them off on.

I give mine (no joke) to a buddy that owns a gym. They freeze really well, so I just throw them in a big zip-lock bag, label it with the date, and next time I see him I give him the box. I hate HATE wasting food, and he think yolks taste gross, so it's win win!
You don't have to find someone who loves egg white omlettes either- alternatively, egg white are great to use for adhesion of crusts or seasoning. For sweet potato fries, I coat the cut up fries in beaten egg white and seasoning, they turn out deliciously crisp. I also use them to coat cuttle fish, octopus, and squid when I am shallow frying them in bacon fat with an almond/old bay crust. This way, if I don't have a gym buddy who needs them, other people can use them too!
Answer by HippiPaleo 1031 · Jun 06 '12 at 11:46 PM
Swap them with someone that doesn't want the yolks, win win.

You can make a salt crust with egg whites that encases a fish or roast, like this:
This technique is on my to-do list to try.
Answer by Heidi 1 4108 · Jun 07 '12 at 12:35 AM
Start freezing them now. Then start asking around your friends, neighbors, co-workers etc. I'm sure you can find some one who would love your egg whites, especially someone who thinks the cholesterol in the yolks is going to kill him and is eating egg white-only omelettes. Maybe you can get his yolks!!!
Anyway, I would sure take them if you lived in my city! I have one three-year-old who will only eat whites. His twin only eats yolks. Right now that's working out pretty well, but the yolk-only boy is branching out and starting to eat a few bites of whites with his yolk. Pretty soon, I'm going to need more whites or I'm going to have to start giving up mine!
Answer by pjnoir 4606 · Jun 06 '12 at 10:25 PM
Always save them as they are pretty good protein even if only 6 or 7 grams an egg. They freeze just as is and an ice tray is perfect before getting them into a ziplock, and then into a smoothie. And nothing wrong witrh added one or two of the leftover whites into a morning omelet- it whips in unnoticed. Melt some dark chcoc, and whip the whites into Peaks- fold together with a single yolk and put into a small cup and bake for a great wheatless cake.
thanks Esther- paleohack thru and thru the question was: My question is: what do I do with the whites? Good eggs are expensive where I am, and it seems uber wasteful to just toss em.
so I answered- better to stay quiet I quess.Answer by Mike T 1 10484 · Jun 07 '12 at 02:02 AM
Maybe you can give them to this person?

Welcome to TranAgent Company
You have a business...
You might even have a great product or service to sell. You may have an interesting brochure and you certainly have been passing out the business cards. So, why are you not getting the volume of business that you know you deserve? Simplified, it really comes down to one of two reasons. They either don't want what you have to offer or they don't know that you have it and how to find it.
People tend to vary...
And if you think that the products or services you're offering have value, chances are, there's someone out there who will agree with you. This brings us to the important questions. Who are the potential customers for these products or services? How do I effectively reach them to let them know of our products or services? How do I tailor the message to appeal to their business and life style and maximize message effectiveness? How do I maximize the effectiveness of reaching them while minimizing the cost? And even, will the cost of reaching the market outweigh the return on investment? There are plenty more questions where these came from, but you get the idea.
So, how can TranAgent Company help?
We'll help identify the market (demographic). We'll assist you in developing a plan to reach them. Together, we'll determine the most effective media mix. With your input, we'll design the
collateral materials. And we'll see you through the implementation of the outreach program or promotion. We can even help measure the success of these programs and promotions with milestone planning and monitoring. We can help you with all of it. We can help you with just a piece of it. We can help you fine-tune your print materials. We can develop, design and implement your web site. Or, we can help improve the effectiveness of one that's already out there. We can help.
TranAgent Company is a small business providing quality services to other small and mid-sized businesses. We understand the need for quality services and products at affordable rates. As for our part, we'll be effective, efficient and our services will be very reasonably priced. We'll even do our best to fit the scope of the project and budgetary considerations into a timetable that will meet project and revenue goals without running you broke.

Nutrition and Wellness Programs
Summer Food Service Program
Current Sponsor Orientation Webinar
This webinar is designed for sponsors who have participated in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for at least two consecutive years. The topics will cover new policies and procedures, highlight key topics, reference some common mishaps, and a quick glance at the process for submitting the application.
February 21, 2013 Recorded Webinar
Claim for Reimbursement Webinar
This webinar is for new and current Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors to learn how to submit a monthly claim for reimbursement. The webinar will give insight on how to consolidate the daily meal count sheets, guide a sponsor through the online system, and how to revise a claim for reimbursement.
April 4, 2012: Recorded Webinar
Solving the Mystery of the Competitive Bidding Process
These webinars are designed for those Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sponsors who do NOT specifically include summer meals in a year-round food contract with their National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or their Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), but for SFSP sponsors who contract their summer meal services with a total cost of over $100,000. A SFSP sponsor who contracts their summer meal services with a total cost of less than $100,000 can elect to use the informal bidding procedures which are posted on the SFSP website under the Invitation for Bid and Contract link.
Participants will better understand the three-step document submission and review process and receive training in developing Invitation for Bid and Contract documents that meet federal and state regulations and statutes.
The training is presented in two separate webinar sessions and participants should try to "attend" both sessions. All sponsors conducting a new procurement or considering contracting for summer meal services are highly encouraged to participate in the training. Participants must be employees of the sponsor.
Please register for both sessions. To register, click on each one of the following "sessions" (two separate registrations). Registering for only one of the sessions will not enable you to participate in both session(s).
Title: Session 1: SFSP Invitation for Bid and Contract Part One—Introduction and General Requirements

Report – EA shopping Need for Speed film pitch around Hollywood
According to a report on The Chicago Tribune, EA is in talks with John Gatins to develop a movie pitch for "Need for Speed." The report states Gatins and EA plan to produce the project with George Gatins writing the pitch. It is now being "shopped around Hollywood," with Warner, Sony and Paramount all said to be interested in the film rights to the racing property, with bids expected in the low-seven figure range with Paramount the current front-runner. Plot details are being kept secret for now, but we're wondering why the firm hasn't enlisted the help of Michael Bay on this project.

SOUTH TUCSON - Dozens of people turned out Thursday at the city hall plaza in South Tucson for the National Day of Action to End Gun Violence.
They say they want gun laws reformed and to include universal background checks on all firearm purchases.
Among the speakers were Bishop Gerald Kicanas of the Tucson Diocese, Dr. Peter Rhee, the head trauma surgeon at the University of Arizona Medical Center and Patricia Maisch, who stopped gunman Jared Loughner from reloading his 9mm on January 8th. Nineteen people were wounded, and six were killed.
Mavy Stoddard, whose husband was killed on January 8 spoke with News 4 Tucson about gun laws, "make them work. They're already there. Just make them work. If it means fines, then do that. Quit selling to the wrong people. And if it takes a three day check, then do that. But do something. Put your own family into that situation."
But Todd Rathner from the National Rifle Association said the group's plans are not clear enough, "NRA members are not going to tolerate any more restrictions on law abiding citizens. We've had enough. We're not going to tolerate anymore. If they want to enforce the laws that already on the books that stop bad people from having guns. That stop the mentally defective from having guns that's fine."
He said mental health has to be a part of the discussion moving forward, "they don't want the mental health records entered into the NIC's database which would prevent people with mental health problems from buying guns because they think it's a violation of those peoples privacy."
Bunny Davis, who represents Moms Demand Action said they want Arizona senators John McCain and Jeff Flake to hear their pleas, "the more of us that show up the more the country will reflect what we as a nation want to have happen."

Labor pain: Soak it away
By Mary M. Murry, R.N., C.N.M.
4 comments posted
To me, water is the most relaxing element. When I was in labor with my son, I relaxed at home under a spray of hot water in the shower until the hot water ran out. What propelled me to the hospital was the thought that the hospital never ran out of hot water. If I'd had access to a tub while I was in labor, I would have soaked like a sea otter.
Today, many hospitals and other birth facilities offer tubs for water immersion during labor. During water immersion, you simply soak in warm water that's deep enough to cover your abdomen. The warm water can enhance your relaxation and help you cope with contractions. It might even decrease your labor pain. You're free to get in and out of the tub as you like, even after your water breaks. Unlike a water birth, however, the baby is delivered outside the tub.
If you're considering water immersion during labor:
- Get your health care provider's OK. Water immersion is safe for most pregnant women, but it's off-limits if you have high blood pressure or a fever.
- Enlist support. Make sure someone is available to help you get out of the tub, either at home or at the hospital. You're not likely to be especially graceful when you climb out of the tub. Add contractions to the mix and negotiating the tub on your own might be an accident just waiting to happen. If the tub is large enough, you might invite your support person to join you.
- Consider your clothing. If you don't want to be naked in the tub, consider wearing a sports bra. If your support person is in the tub as well, he or she can wear a bathing suit.
- Check the water temperature. Make sure the water isn't too hot. Generally, the upper limit is 101 F (38 C). At home, use a thermometer to check water temperature. Keep in mind that the tub water may feel warmer if your water breaks while you're in the tub.
- Don't worry if your water breaks. Amniotic fluid is sterile. If your water breaks while you're soaking in the tub, there's no need to change the water.
- Stay hydrated. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of water while you're soaking in the tub.
- Time it right. Save water immersion for active labor. Soaking too soon may slow down your labor.
If you're using a tub in the hospital, your baby's heart rate may be checked periodically with a water-safe monitor. Cervical exams can be done in the tub, too. Guidelines may differ from facility to facility, however. If you're planning to use a tub during labor at a hospital or other birth facility, ask about the guidelines ahead of time so the only surprises will be the ones labor has in store for you.

If you want radiant heating from your walls, then you should consider this when you are building a new home. This system is very efficient and it uses panels to heat the elements within the walls.
The amount of heat received can differ.
Wiring resistance
You should test the wiring before installing it. Test it for its maximum amount of voltage that it can carry. This is very important, because if the panels can use a high voltage, and the wires cannot handle that voltage, then accidents may happen and you are endangering your home.

Accused Baby Killer Moves Closer To Trial
A man accused of killing a baby girl and her grandmother in October in King of Prussia is being held for trial.
At a preliminary hearing Wednesday, a district judge ruled that prosecutors have enough evidence to try 26-year-old Raghunandan Yandamuri (pictured here) for murder, kidnapping and other offenses.
In a video recording played at the hearing Yandamuri told police he never intended to kill anyone, and he just wanted to kidnap the baby for ransom.
He demanded $50,000, the amount he had lost gambling at casinos. He also ran up more than $26,000 in credit card debt, and had filed for bankruptcy in California last April before moving to Pennsylvania.
Authorities say 61-year-old grandmother Satayvathi Venna was killed while trying to save ten-month-old Saanvi Venna's life.
Yandamuri lived at the Marquis Apartments in King of Prussia, where the victims also lived, and he was a social acquaintance of the baby's parents. A note left at the scene threatened to throw their daughter's body parts into their apartment if they told anyone about the note or failed to pay the ransom.

Dividing OS modules to different folders
wroot 30 Dec 2007
I havent tried to download more than one release, but it seems that all modules just go to /modules dir and you cant distinguish what OS it belongs too. As i often have to burn autopatcher along with other tools to a CD-RW and go fix some computer i dont need all-in-one pack. In some case i would need only XP updates, in other only Vista. So now i have to make several copies of APUP folders and update them one by one for every OS. Maybe APUP can do it itself? in /modules dir there could be XP, Vista, etc. dirs.
M2Ys4U 30 Dec 2007
AutoPatcher proper will only allow you to install the patches needed for the operating system in use; it doesn't matter if all of the updates are there or not, you'll have the same things available.
wroot 31 Dec 2007
I'm concerned about the size. If i only need XP updates at some point, why should i burn all the updates?
Cyrus 31 Dec 2007
The best way to do it would be to use a large USB flash drive or a rewritable DVD, that way you don't need to worry about using up multiple CD's.

Florida: Judge throws out jihad terror funding case against one imam, case against the other to proceed
Posted by Robert on January 17, 2013 10:24 AM
Izhar Khan is free today: apparently we are to believe that he knew nothing about and would have strongly disapproved of his father's activity in "funneling about $50,000 to the Taliban to target U.S. interests in Pakistan." The judge said that the case against his father, Hafiz Khan, would proceed: "Scola said Thursday that the government's case against the 77-year-old imam of the Flagler Mosque is overwhelming."
"Judge throws out Taliban terror case against Margate imam," by Jay Weaver for the [1] Miami Herald, January 17 (thanks to Twostellas):
A federal judge threw out the terrorism charges against a young Muslim cleric from Broward County in a trial where he and his father, an imam in Miami, are accused of providing financial support to the Pakistani Taliban terrorist organization.Izhar Khan, the imam of a mosque in Margate, will be a free man later Thursday after U.S. District Judge Robert Scola issued a verdict of acquittal for the 26-year-old Muslim scholar.
The prosecution, which rested its case Wednesday in the material support trial, failed to mount sufficient evidence of wrongdoing against the younger imam, imam of Masjid Jamaat Al-Mumineen mosque off Sample Road....
Both father and son have been held in the Miami federal detention center since their arrest in 2011 on charges of funneling about $50,000 to the Taliban to target U.S. interests in Pakistan. The Taliban allegedly used the funds for buying arms and other ammunition to carry our terrorist attacks against the Pakistan government, which is a U.S. ally.
Scola already denied Hafiz Khan's bid for an acquittal verdict halfway through the trial. Scola said Thursday that the government's case against the 77-year-old imam of the Flagler Mosque is overwhelming.
The government's case has been built largely on FBI-recorded phone conversations between Hafiz Khan and other members of his family and suspected Taliban sympathizers. His bank records have also been central to the government's case against him.

Tips on Understanding Debt Management Programs
Friday, July 26th, 2013When faced with overwhelming credit card debt, as many of us are in this recessionary era, we're awash with options on how to deal with the debt: handle it on our own; try debt settlement; obtain a debt consolidation loan; file for bankruptcy; tap home equity, or join a debt management program through a credit counseling agency.
Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona advises on the advantages and disadvantages. Here we'll clarify what's entailed in a debt management program.
What is it?
A debt management plans are also commonly referred to as "debt management programs," "DMPs," and "debt repayment programs."
First a person with unmanageable credit card debt seeks credit counseling at a consumer credit counseling service. A counselor obtains an itemized list of the client's monthly expenses and income. If a client has funds remaining in the budget, but can't keep up with minimum payments, debt management becomes a possibility.
A debt management plan is a personalized, structured repayment program wherein you pay back 100% of your debt over time, a maximum of 60 months. You pay down the principal much faster than you could on you own and make one monthly payment to the credit counseling agency which electronically distributes the money to your creditors.
A good credit counselor will review the status of your creditors—tracking the name of the credit grantor, the account number and current interest rate. Then the counselor will look up how much each creditor would charge in interest were you to join the program (policies between creditors vary greatly). A counselor can tell you how you could save in interest over the long term and your shortened payoff time.
What are the benefits?
- Lower interest rates, late and over-limit fees.
By joining a debt management program, you show you wish to back your debt. In exchange, most creditors make concessions to the original agreement to help their customers repay their debt and avoid a potential bankruptcy.
Reduced interest rates and waived late and/or over-limit fees are the main appeal.
- Decrease the payoff time.
As a result of paying reduced interest and fees, more of your monthly payment is directed to pay off your principal, allowing you to shorten the duration of your payoffs. - Eliminate calls from collectors.
Clients who are well behind on their bills are often hounded by collections agencies. Such calls will continue for about the first 90 days of the program (while the credit grantors process credit counselor proposals). During this period, you may tell collectors that you've joined a DMP and refer them to your agency's Customer Service Department. Once the 90-day period has past, creditors will stop contacting you. - Improve stress.
Once you regain control with a manageable action plan, your stress is greatly reduced. The uncertainty of how you are going to handle a large financial problem causes undue worry and tension. A reputable credit counseling service will encourage free follow-up visits with your counselor. Should you have questions about your budget or credit, or your circumstances change, having access to a financial specialist reduces anxiety. - Make just one monthly payment.
As a convenience, credit counselors consolidate your payments into one monthly installment that's divided and sent electronically to each creditor. Usually set up as an automatic withdrawal from a bank account, this payment method reduces the likelihood of incurring late fees. - Pass on bankruptcy.
A DMP works well for those who are ethically opposed to bankruptcy. Others cannot file due to policies of their employers who prohibit it. Some choose another route to minimize the negative impact on their credit reports. - Emerge debt free.
The goal is to help you become free of debt. For those who have been unable to control credit card debt on their own, the DMP is a great tool, along with a budget, financial education, determination and hard work, to help you payoff debt and secure a healthy financial future.
Potential downsides?
- Use of credit.
To allow you to concentrate on paying off debt rather than incurring more, you must close your accounts and stop using credit. As a result, visit any credit counseling service and you'll see jars of cut up credit cards. Creditors actually monitor your credit reports to see if you make payments outside of the DMP to other creditors and may drop you from the program altogether if they catch you doing so. A few exceptions are allowed, such as if you have a corporate card for business and the bill is paid by your employer. - Impact on credit.
Your creditors determine how your account will be reported to the credit reporting agencies. Any payment options, which alter your original agreements with each creditor will affect your credit somewhat–some methods more than others. Generally, filing for bankruptcy is the worst move (credit wise) and will leave negative remarks on your credit report for 10 years.
After creditors accept the terms and receive three consecutive payments, some creditors "reage" your accounts (bring them current) that will improve your credit. If you haven't been able to make payments, have a long history of late payments, or carry high debt loads, joining a plan, paying on time and working down your balances can actually improve your credit.
To determine how a DMP would affect your credit, call each of your creditors and ask.
- Must have some income to qualify.
When counselors work with you to develop a budget, you must have some surplus income to pay your credit cards through a DMP. If your situation is extremely dire, another option may work better for you.
Shopping for a Credit Counseling Agency
Start by researching nonprofit credit counseling organizations. Search the Better Business Bureau and check the agency's "reliability report." For added protection, also consider doing business with BBB Accredited Businesses.
Lastly, find out if it is a member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. NFCC members adhere to strict standards of professionalism and accreditation and draw upon only certified credit counselors.

Are You Missing Out on Tax Incentives for Your Sustainability Initiatives?
Corporate sustainability programs aren't typically integrated with tax departments, and that could be costing companies valuable financial opportunities, according to new research from Ernst & Young LLP.
The survey, entitled Working Together: Linking sustainability and tax to reduce the cost of implementing sustainability initiatives, included responses from 223 senior executives at companies predominantly in the US. 19 percent of those polled were Chief Sustainability Officer (CSOs), while the remaining 81 percent were tax directors or their equivalent. Responses from each group were vastly different, highlighting the lack of coordination between the two groups. For example, only 28 percent of tax directors believe their company has a sustainability strategy or is developing one, compared to 90 percent of CSOs surveyed. In addition, the survey results showed that: (more…)

No wonder new businesses do not want to relocate here. Crime in Nueces County is just so bad right now. Years ago, I attended a workshop and stayed across the street in a high rise establishment for several days. Everything was nice, clean, and safe. Security personnel were present and they all looked and acted professional. These days, said establishment offers fewer visible security people, and some of them look as though they were just "rousted out of their beds." Their dress, decorum, and attitudes leave a LOT to be desired.I no longer will linger any further than I have to when work sends me to C.C.
No offense, I have met some wonderful people there, but overall, the status quo is "un inviting."
Maybe next time you visit CC, you can bring your mommy and avoid feeling so insecure.

Times are tough and many homeowners are faced with the possibility of foreclosure. Yes, the most recent bailout law is expected to help many homeowners stave off the threat of losing their home. But until that law becomes a reality, homeowners who face the possibility of foreclosure or who are behind on their payments should attempt to restructure their mortgage. FPA member Mark LaSpisa, CFP®, and principal of Vermillion Financial Advisors in South Barrington, Ill., offers this advice:
- Start by doing your homework. The Internet can be a great benefit.
- Learn what the current market rates are in your area.
- Know what the usual and customary closing costs are.
- Know if there are any penalties if the mortgage is paid off within a short period of time.
- Compare all rates based on annual percentage rate (APR), not current rate.
- Know what "rate lock" goes with your quote. This can make a big difference.
- Get your credit reports and credit scores from all three credit reporting agencies.
(Homeowners can get one free report per year from all three credit reporting agencies.) - Call banks and find out their qualification for a refinance or restructure. Start with your current lender.
- Paying bills on time will increase possibility for a restructure.
- Increase income by taking on a part-time job.
- Stop using credit for a minimum of six months prior to applying for a restructure.
- Cut expenses wherever possible. (Cancel the cable television service or stop eating out, for instance.)
- Reduce debt if possible. (Sell the expensive car and switch into something you can afford.)
- Ask your current lender what their qualifications are for a "short sell" or if they would consider restructuring your current mortgage.
"To be sure, renegotiation is a privilege, not a right," said Randall S. Guttery, Ph.D., CLU, ChFC, professor of finance and real estate and CFP® program director at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. "They should not assume the lender will automatically restructure the loan."
In addition, Guttery noted that any debt relief may be a taxable event. "Debt relief of any sort historically is taxable as ordinary income," he said. So be sure to consult with a CPA or financial planner before renegotiating any mortgage or home equity loan.
What's more, Guttery cautions that restructuring a mortgage or home equity loan doesn't always have a happy ending. "Homeowners still need the income to support the restructure," he said noting that fully one-third of all restructured loans later default anyway. "Homeowners need to be realistic."

Hungary promises to look after Roma as it takes over EU presidency
Hungary has just taken over the EU's rotating presidency, which it will hold for six months. Budapest has said one of its main priorities during its tenure will be to push through a common EU strategy for the Roma. Yet Hungary is a country regularly criticised for how it treats its own 800,000 Roma citizens - particularly when it comes to education.

Since the Arusha Agreement, signed in Tanzania in August 2000, the peace process instituted in the aftermath of a civil war, that lasted for more than 13 years, has registered significant progress. In November 2003, the main Hutu rebel organization - the Conseil National pour la Défense de la Démocratie – Forces de Défense de la Démocratie (CNDD-FDD), led by Pierre Nkurunziza, joined the process. On 5 August 2005, a power-sharing agreement signed in Pretoria led to the drafting of a constitution that was adopted by referendum in February 2005.
Within the framework of these agreements, municipal, legislative, senatorial and presidential elections were held between March and August 2005, in the presence of international observers from the European Union, the African Union and the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. Following the elections, which gave a broad victory to the CNDD-FDD, Pierre Nkurunziza was elected President of the Burundian Republic.
Recent years have seen the end of the conflict between the army dominated by the Tutsi and the Hutu movement of National Forces of Liberation Forces (FNL). The FNL turned into a political party. They have also released their prisoners and children who were associated with the movement's military activity.
New presidential, parliamentary and local elections took place from June to September 2010. Although the conduct of these elections was generally considered satisfactory by all observers, both domestic and international, opposition, well ahead in Bujumbura with over 70% of the vote in local elections, but highly disappointed with its defeat in the provinces, has consolidated, with the notable exception of Uprona, in an alliance of circumstance (CDA Ikibiri) to contest the election. President Nkurunziza has finally been re-elected since the opposition boycotted all elections after the local elections of 24 May 2010.
Moreover, much progress remains to be made, particularly with regard to human rights. While Burundi abolished the death penalty in April 2009, the criminalization of homosexuality, the murder of albinos, and delays in the establishment of a transitional justice system are areas of concern to the UN. The Secretary-General has also urged greater freedom of expression, particularly for opposition parties.
During summer 2011, Burundi's security situation has turned sour, as attacks by small armed groups multiplied. These attacks first targeted the regions of rural Bujumbura, Citiboke and Bubanza and later spread over most of the territory. The government launched a coordination process with the two neighour countries Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda to thwart the resurgence of an armed rebellion in the DRC.
Concerns on the political situation added to the deterioration of the security context. For months, the international community encouraged Burundi's authorities and the extra-parliamentary opposition to engage in dialogue. The First Vice-President of the Republic invited all the registered political parties to an "information, dialogue and consultation meeting" on 25 July 2011. None of the parties from the CDA-Ibkiri participated.
On 18 September 2011, Burundi was struck by a major terrorist attack in Gatumba, in the outskirts of Bujumbura, which killed near forty people. The government declared that "all the measures to improve the security of the stricken populations" would be taken during the investigation. It forbid the media to publish, comment or analyze any news related to the investigation.
On 7 November 2011, the Security Council met to hear the report by Mrs Karin Landgren, Special Representative of the Secretary General in Burundi, on BNUB's activities and the situation in the country.
Mrs Landgren depicted an overall calm security situation, and underscored the progress made regarding transitional justice. However, steps had yet to be taken by the government to strengthen the judiciary system and put an end to the extra judiciary killings. She commended Burundi's action towards peace within AMISOM despite the internal challenges the country had to face.
Mr. Paul Seger, Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission's Burundi Configuration depicted a context of extreme poverty in the country, informing the Council that the Peacebuilding Commission would focus on supporting the government's strategy to fight poverty, while calling for intensified efforts from Burundi regarding governance, national dialogue and freedom of the media.
On 20 December 2011, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2027
On 13 February 2013, the Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2090 renewing the mandate of BNUB for one year.
UN presence
The UN strongly backed the peace process in Burundi. This commitment translated notably into the creation of the UN Operation in Burundi (ONUB) on 21 May 2004, by resolution 1545, whose mission is to "support and help to implement the efforts undertaken by Burundians to restore lasting peace and bring about national reconciliation, as provided under the Arusha Agreement." The ONUB mandate included the following principal objectives:
- to ensure the respect of ceasefire agreements
- to promote the re-establishment of confidence between the Burundian forces present
- to carry out the disarmament and demobilization portions of the national program of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of combatants
- to monitor, to the extent possible, the illegal flow of arms across the national borders
- to contribute to the creation of the necessary security conditions for the provision of humanitarian assistance, and facilitate the voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons
- to contribute to the successful completion of the electoral process stipulated in the Arusha Agreement
- to protect civilians under imminent threat of physical violence.
On 31 December 2006, the ONUB ended its mandate and was replaced by a new mission, the United Nations Integrated Office in Burundi (BINUB), established by resolution 1719 of 25 October 2006. It is to focus on the following points:
- the consolidation of peace and establishment of democratic governance
- disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, and security sector reform
- the promotion and defense of human rights and the fight against impunity
- the coordination of donors and UN agencies.
BINUB's mandate was extended until 31 December 2010 by resolution 1902 of 17 December 2009. BINUB pays special attention to the support of the electoral process, to democratic governance, to the consolidation of peace, to sustainable reintegration and gender issues.
The Security Council decided in December 2010 to replace BINUB by a United Nations Office in Burundi (BNUB), of smaller size, for an initial period of twelve months until 31 December 2011, to assist the Government of Burundi in consolidating peace, supporting governance, protecting human rights and supporting development in Burundi (resolution 1959 of 16 December 2010).
France supports the positive progress made in the peace process in Burundi, but many challenges remain, particularly in the socio-economic and human rights. The Commission for the Consolidation of Peace has played a key role in this process (see the page devoted to the PBC on this website).
On 5 July 2012, the Security Council heard the briefings of Mrs Landgren, Special Representative of the Secretary General in Burundi, and Mr Seger, Chair of the Peacebuilding Commission's Burundi Configuration.
Since November 2011, the government of Burundi had taken concrete measures on governance; fight against corruption and against poverty. The political situation had stabilized and the contacts between the government and the extra-parliamentary groups were positive. However, Mrs Landgren expressed her concern over the pressure put on the opposition groups and deplored that a few number of extrajudicial executions had been prosecuted. The socio-economic conditions also remained a destabilizing factor.
In closed consultations, the representative of France noted the institutional progresses but encouraged the government of Burundi to pursue its efforts in terms of transitional justice.
On 22 July 2013, the Security Council heard the presentations of Mr. Perfect Onanga-Anyang, Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Burundi and Mr. Paul Seger, President of the "Burundi" Configuration of the UN Peacebuilding Commission. Both welcomed the improvements made in terms of governance and rule of law in Burundi. However, they also stated that significant challenges remained, particularly in the context of the upcoming elections in 2015, and in order to ensure an effective national reconciliation.
The Security Council then met in closed consultations during which the representative of France encouraged a continuous support by international donors, based on democratic progress made by Burundi. He also expressed concerns about the media law recently adopted, which may reduce medias' freedom of expression, the persistent tensions related to land issues, as well as violent activities of some youth organizations.
