Officially, Burundi is the poorest country in the world with a crumbling economy, it has the most careless and corrupt government and is already cited as the example of what not to do in governance worldwide.
The country is run by a unique kleptomaniac kakistocracy headed by President Evariste Ndayishimiye aka Neva. With deep roots to the hateful PARMEHUTU ideology, the ruling party CNDD-FDD feigns success but in reality, the Burundian chaos has become infectious.
The country continues to spiral deeper into despair, forcing its citizens to flood neighboring countries for safety and survival. From Kenya to Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, Burundians have migrated for cheap and unskilled labour.
In Congo, Ndayishimiye sells his youth to Tshisekedi as cannon fodder. Burundians have also fallen prey to all manners of human trafficking rings globally. Recently, in Kenya, calls for mass deportation of Burundians grew, sparking a public debate on Burundi.
Mukhisa Kituyi, the former Kenyan cabinet minister and Secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development is making headlines and irritating Evariste Ndayishimiye’s junta in Burundi.
In a televised interview, the prominent Kenyan politician said it plainly: The “idiots in Bujumbura” are making a hell of an example of how not to govern. He went further and compared Burundi to Kenya in 1962 with nothing to show but fat politicians in expensive Japanese SUV [Probably referring to Ndayishimiye’s obesity].
Mukhisa Kituyi insisted further, “The way to stem the mass arrivals of Barundi in other EAC countries, is for the countries of East Africa to push the government of Burundi to do what governments are supposed to do…to retain its labor force.”
Poverty is not a concern for the Burundian government. The country has no fuel, no foreign currency reserves, no electricity and constant acute water and electricity shortages. The brutal regime also producers a huge number of refugees.
Yet for decades, neighboring countries have kept quiet but now, neighbors are openly asking for something to be done about the failed state of Burundi.
