Since taking power in Burundi, Evariste Ndayishimiye aka Gen. Neva has only one achievement: he has crashed whatever miserable economy he inherited from the Nkurunziza regime.
Gen. Neva inherited a corrupt regime, ruled by a small group of CNDD-FDD pseudo-generals in 2020. He promised change, and even fooled a few that he was about to fight the crippling corruption in the country.
As it turns out, Ndayishimiye has brought even more chaos and despair, with corrupt so out of control that the economy has sunk completely.
The man now blames the Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi; yet everyone knows Tshisekedi is his sugar daddy! Evaristo Ndayishimiye aka Gen Neva whines: “Tshisekedi has not paid us for helping him.” The Burundian tyrant said this in front of his CNDD-FDD Generals.
Ritualistically, the ruling party holds “prayers” on Thursdays every week and then follows their prayers with secretive meetings “to discuss national affairs.” Three years ago, Ndayishimiye obtained the green light to remove, and jail Alain-Guillaume Bunyoni the former prime minister, following such a “prayer meeting.”
There was no fuel in the country, the central bank had ran out of foreign currency, and life was unbearably expensive for the ordinary Burundian. Back then Gen. Neva blamed everything on Bunyoni, and claimed it was deliberate sabotage. The small clique of CNDD-FDD “Generals” backed Ndayishimiye, and Bunyoni received a life sentence in jail on charges of “attempting to bewitch” Ndayishimiye.
That’s just how the “DD” is.
Last Thursday, the CNDD-FDD cabal held another secretive meeting with Ndayishimiye.
This time, they wanted answers from Ndayishimiye on several issues.
They wanted to know why the Burundian army has suffered bruising, demoralizing, and humiliating defeats in DR Congo and how he financed his military adventures there. The mystery, according to one of the generals, was that Burundi had become even poorer that it was during the “Bunyoni era” yet Ndayishimiye has managed to deploy more than 10,000 soldiers to DR Congo, to date.
“How can you send soldiers thousands of kilometers away when we have no fuel?”, one “General” was said to have asked.
The comments started a furious series of questions about the economy and why it has completely crashed while Burundi engages in a foreign war that Burundi shouldn’t be involved in.
Ndayishimiye tried to explain how his “miracle solution” to the stalled economy. “If we help Tshisekedi, he will give us money. Congo is very rich”.
But this response only sparked more furious questions. “So, how much has he (Tshisekedi) given so far?”, one of the DD generals wondered. “Why do we still have no money in the central bank?”, another asked.
Gen. Neva was in a sweat. It was a very bad day for him. He could sense the rebelliousness in his cabal.
He probably felt he had no choice but to put blame Tshisekedi of DR Congo for all Burundi’s woes.
“Tshisekedi promised to pay for everything, so far, he has not even given 10 percent,” the sweaty Ndayishimiye whined. “I will be traveling to talk to him about it. I understand your frustrations but I think this week we will get another 10 percent!”
Burundi’s president was like a trapped rodent, saying anything to save himself.
On the same day, he flew with his wife to Equatorial Guinea for a mysterious visit that lasted two days.
While some staff members in Gen. Neva’s state house panicked about the unplanned trip to Equatorial Guinea, thinking Ndayishimiye had fled fearing a coup, our sources explained that he had travelled to attempt to get money. “That’s where Ndayishimiye keeps his money, after the meeting on Thursday, he went to get some money to distribute to generals!” our source said.
Since taking power in 2020, Ndayishimiye and his wife have travelled more than ten times to Equatorial Guinea.
Now, with the DD “generals” baring their teeth, one can expect even monthly trips to EG!
