This report explores causes and triggers of conflicts, but also elements of positive relationships, between Burundian refugees in Nduta and Mtendeli refugee camps and Tanzanian host communities in neighboring villages. The report begins by deconstructing and disaggregating the broad notion of ‘host communities’, exploring the nuance that exists within this monolithic and sometimes rather unhelpful category. It also explores the shared historical continuities and discontinuities between Burundian refugees and Tanzanian host communities, exploring memories, social and economic connections and existing mutual social stereotypes constructed between different groups.
