                          About Public Holidays in Burundi

                          Burundi's Independence Day (July 1) marks the 1962 end of Belgian trusteeship. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha are recognized nationally despite Christianity being the majority religion, reflecting the country's minority Muslim population. Ntaryamira Day (April 6) and Rwagasore's assassination on Unity Day-linked observances mark the country's turbulent post-independence political history.
