From their bases in Tanzania, the FROLINA's militant wing, the People's Armed Forces ("Forces armées du peuple", FAP) waged a low-level guerrilla war against the Burundian government. Their operations were concentrated on the country's south, especially the area around Nyanza Lac. Overall, Karumba's group remained a "minor" force compared to other Hutu rebel movements such as the National Council for the Defense of Democracy – Forces for the Defense of Democracy ("Conseil National Pour la Défense de la Démocratie – Forces pour la Défense de la Démocratie", or CNDD–FDD) and PALIPEHUTU-FNL during the Burundian Civil War. Like most other Hutu insurgent groups, FROLINA was "militantly racist" and desired the extermination or at least marginalization of all Burundian Tutsi. FROLINA mostly ceased its attacks in 1998. After talks took place between Burundian President Pierre Buyoya and Karumba, the party signed the Arusha Accords in August 2000. It thereby agreed to a ceasefire and an eventual integration into the Burundian military as part of a power-sharing deal.
