| - Joseph Biroli-Baranyanka or Joseph Biroli (28 May 1929 – 15 January 1963) was a Burundian politician and was the first Burundian to receive a university education. Born in 1929 to a prominent chief, he was a Ganwa of the Batare clan. He performed well as a student and earned a diploma from the Institut universitaire des Territoires d'Outre-Mer in 1953. After continuing his education at several other universities he took up work for the European Economic Community. In 1960 his brother Jean-Baptiste Ntidendereza co-founded the Christian Democratic Party (Parti Démocratique Chrétien, PDC), and Biroli became the party's president. His main political rival was Prince Louis Rwagasore, a Ganwa of the Bezi clan who led the Union for National Progress (Union pour le Progres National, UPRONA). Biroli was friendly to the Belgian colonial administration in Ruanda-Urundi, while UPRONA demanded immediate independence. In May 1961 Ntidendereza replaced Brioli as PDC president, and the latter became head of the party's public relations. Burundi hosted legislative elections in September in 1961, which were handily won by UPRONA. In October Rwagasore was murdered, and the subsequent investigation implicated Biroli and Ntidendereza. Biroli was found guilty and initially sentenced to life in prison, but in a retrial he was sentenced to death and was executed alongside his brother and other co-conspirators in 1963. (en)
