A modern twist, if you will. Here’s a little summary of Burundi’s recent history: - The president of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza, dismissed covid19 as nonsense <https://taarifa.rw/president-nkurunzia-says-covid-19-is-a-hoax/>. - The president of Burundi was vilified in the Western press. - The president of Burundi expelled the World Health Organization from his country. - The president of Burundi died suddenly of a “heart attack”. - The NEW president of Burundi immediately reversed his predecessor’s Covid19 policies. And now for the long version… 6th May 2020 The Council on Foreign Relations blog posts an article titled “COVID-19 is Coinciding with Dangerous Trends in Burundi’s Democracy” <https://www.cfr.org/blog/covid-19-coinciding-dangerous-trends-burundis-%20democracy> .
