Democracy, a rare breed in Burundi

The act by leaders across the world of failing to fete at Burundi’s presidential inauguration ceremony on Thursday last week was a message well sent to Pierre Nkurunziza that the world is not contended with his leadership at all. Why deny citizens the right to decide on their own? Why amend constitution in order to favour your eligibility to vie for presidency? Furthermore does it mean that Burundi without Nkurunziza cannot stand on its own?

Burundi: While many countries in Africa have launched strategic plans for achieving millennium goals Burundi is still scrambling for power. Neocolonialism in Burundi is alive and well. We are in the era of democracy and independence means that we liberate an Africana from the Yoke of slavery and totalitarian regimes that existed courtesy of colonialists.
