                Notice of November 12, 2020

                
Continuation of the National Emergency With 
                Respect to Burundi

                On November 22, 2015, by Executive Order 13712, the 
                President declared a national emergency to deal with 
                the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States 
                constituted by the situation in Burundi, which has been 
                marked by the killing of and violence against 
                civilians, unrest, the incitement of imminent violence, 
                and significant political repression, and which 
                threatens the peace, security, and stability of Burundi 
                and the region. I commend the new government and the 
                people of Burundi for the recent historic peaceful 
                transfer of power and encourage the new government to 
                continue to engage with the United States and other 
                countries to address the underlying actions and 
                policies of the Government of Burundi that led to the 
                declaration of a national emergency in Executive Order 
                13712. At this time, however, I have not seen 
                sufficient evidence that the situation is resolved.

                As such, the situation in Burundi continues to pose an 
                unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
                security and foreign policy of the United States. For 
                this reason, the national emergency declared on 
                November 22, 2015, to deal with that threat must 
                continue in effect beyond November 22, 2020. Therefore, 
                in accordance with section 202(d) of the National 
                Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing 
                for 1 year the national emergency with respect to 
                Burundi declared in Executive Order 13712.

                This notice shall be published in the Federal Register 
                and transmitted to the Congress.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    November 12, 2020.
