Few in Burundi will mourn Pierre Nkurunziza. “People hate him,” says a journalist in the country

Jean-Paul Sartre, everything is complicated by the presence of the other team. Pierre Nkurunziza had ways of simplifying things. Burundi’s president, who died on June 8th, would travel with his football team, Hallelujah. At matches opponents would shy away from tackles. Some who did not were arrested—a terrifying experience in Mr Nkurunziza’s police state.

“People hate him,” says a journalist in the country. “During his reign so many people died.” Mr Nkurunziza’s regime murdered and tortured opponents. Corruption and punitive taxes have further impoverished Burundians, 72% of whom live on less than the equivalent of $1.90 per day.

Just wondering whose colony it is now. France?

Death is supposed to be celebrated. It’s not the end of life but just a part of it. But that celebration must not be out of hate of the dead.

Pierre? Was he French?

He opposed to the WHO so he was killed !
