Ms Booka has a point but misses all the line (knowingly!) : President Nkurunziza is inspired by Rwanda. In fact all African presidents are inspired now by Paul Kagame : if you can organize polls or changes in institutions so that the economy of a country is not affected by them, and "Whites" interests are guaranteed; the only remaining stuff is controlling the narrative to the WEST even if you "tighten the security" a little bit more than needed. So Nkurunziza has changed the constitution for a 7 years terms like Kagame did. Extended his tenure till 2034 like Kagame did. He's tightening the security apparatus like Kagame did. Transforming the ruling party in a one party-state like Kagame did. By changing the constitution he's making the president the centre of all decisions and attentions (no longer leaning on the consensus by political factions) ...: he's becoming Kagame! But with more "ethnic population" backing him. And as Booka said: the WEST underestimated him so much, thinking he's just messianic and plays football. lol. You saw it coming. Now you need to deal with it. He's playing the Kagame book: the WEST will look away to Human Right records as long as you build a "good" narrative.
