African leaders are pushing the nation of Burundi to allow international troops to help keep thepeace there.
Here's why: ongoing political violence is threatening the spread to something much worse.
The small African republic had its first democratic presidential election in 1993.
But soon afterward, the president was assassinated.
That led to a civil war that lasted more than 10 years and decimated Burundi.
By 2005, relative calm had been restored.
A new president was elected then and reelected in 2010.
But his latest reelection last year has people inside and outside Burundi concerned that historycould repeat itself.
Burundi has been at a tipping point since April 2015, when incumbent President PierreNkurunziza decided to run for a controversial and some believe illegal third term as president.
Protests rocked the small central African nation, roughly the size of Belgium.
Those protests quickly turned violent, and an attempted military coup cause Nkurunziza'sruling party to crack down on all opposition movements, civil society and the media.
Since then, hundreds of thousands of Burundians have fled the country, seeking asylum innearby countries such as Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Pierre Nkurunziza won that controversial third term in July 2015 with almost 70 percent of thevote.
But the violence continues.
Residents of the capital which report that they go to sleep with a sound of gunfire andexplosions most nights.
Hundreds of people, according to rights groups have lost their lives.
The African Union, concerned that the humanitarian situation in Burundi is spiraling out ofcontrol, proposed a 5,000-strong military force to restore peace.
Burundi's government rejected their proposal.
A spokesman for the government said only the government could allow the force in.
They can't invade a country if the latter is not informed and allow it, he said on state radio.
Since then, the United Nations and the U.S. has called the situation there deeply alarming.
A real concern among both Burundians and the international community is that if peace orrelative stability is not restored soon, it could soon simply plunge back into the decade-longbloody civil war that saw 300,000 killed and brought President Pierre Nkurunziza into power inthe first place.
