Burundi President should stop his greed for power and obey the rule of law

Burundi, a small, poor and landlocked country in the Great Lakes Region is on the verge of “boiling-over.” Reason, President Pierre Nkurunziza won’t give up his thirst for more time in power.  Having led his country out of a 12-year bloodshed in which more than 300,000 people died ten years ago, he now thinks he can bypass the constitution – which he swore to uphold when he took over the presidency – how duplicitous is that!
