Reverted changes
I've reverted your edits at Burundi mainly because your changes had the effect of changing a sourced opinion:
 *  In an article titled "The Blood Cries Out," Foreign Policy (FP) reported that the Burundi population growth rate is 2.5 percent per year, more than double the average global pace, and a Burundian woman has on average 6.3 children, nearly triple the international fertility rate. FP further reported that "The vast majority of Burundians rely on subsistence farming, but under the weight of a booming population and in the long-standing absence of coherent policies governing land ownership, many people barely have enough earth to sustain themselves."

into a blanket statement of fact:
 *  Subsistence farming is highly relied upon, however due to large population growth and no coherent policies governing land ownership, many people don't have the resources to sustain themselves. In 2014, the average farm size was about one acre. Burundi has the severest hunger and malnourishment rates of all 120 countries ranked in the Global Hunger Index."

The original statement is an opinion stated by FP magazine. While this is admittedly a reliable source, and therefore the reporting of their opinion in the article is worthwhile, we cannot conclude as fact that the issues at hand are due to a lack of coherent government policies; we can only state that as the opinion of a well-informed and reliable source.

 * I will change the opinon part of the article back to FP reports, otherwise saying FP is redundant as it is a fact and there is a citation. I moved the population part of the quote to the demographics section of the article, I did not remove it.
