Laurent Kavakure (born January 5, 1959) is a Burundian diplomat and politician who served the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Burundi from November 2011 to May 2015.
Kavakure was born in Tangara, Ngozi Province.
[1][2] Kavakure was dismissed from his post as Minister of Foreign Affairs on May 18, 2015, shortly after a failed coup attempt during the 2015 Burundian unrest, which started after President Pierre Nkurunziza stated he wished to run for office a third time.
[3] Observers stated that his dismissal might be due to Kavakure failing to convince other states to support the 2015 presidential elections.
