Is Burundi on the road to their downfall?

The smallest and poorest nation in East Africa.  Burundi, is showing all the signs of going bananas. President Pierre Nkurunziza is determined to have his way to a third term against reasonable interpretation of his country’s constitution. Looking at the East African region, I admire Kenya.

One may mention Tanzania for her stable politics but I see the shortcomings of one party domination that you can always predict who will become President. All you need is to be nominated by CCM party as their presidential candidate. It mirrors South Africa and ANC.  In Kenya at least there is competition notwithstanding the regularly mutation of parties, our unreliable systems and corruption even in the political sphere. But in East Africa there are huge political challenges. Burundi is proving to be the worst at the moment.
