King of Burundi

From Freepedia

Burundi was ruled by a monarch until 1966. The Tutsi monarchy ruled the nation for centuries, but became largely ceremonial with the colonization of the nation by Germany in 1899. Burundi ceased to be a monarchy when king Ntare V Ndizeye was deposed by prime minister Capt. Michel Micombero, who abolished the monarchy and declared a republic. The exact dates of the early monarchs is uncertain.
