[DrBanneker]

President Pierre Nkurunziza died last week and the first reports were a heart attack. However, news leaked out that he and his wife had traveled to Kenya for treatment after he fell ill after watching a volleyball match and foreign diplomats are now saying everyone in Bujumbura knows it was the corona. This would make him the first head of state to die of COVID-19. Burundi was one of the countries that didn't lock anything down and was like

Nkurunziza had been in since 2005 and wasn't exactly the Good Humor man, ruling with an iron fist. Hopefully the next guy (shown below) is better.

Evariste Ndayishimiye, who won the election last month is taking over. Hopefully he changes his tune from a recent political rally:

Rich people from other countries always go to other countries for medical treatment.

The rumors of cardiac arrest are just rumors to begin with. So we don’t know shyt.

We don't have all the facts, w/ that said African nations are not really testing their countries. For example the top 10-20 countries in covid testing have tested at least 2% of their populations. No country in Africa has tested more than .01%.

Read that he passed from a heart attack. Rest in peace , either way.
