EVENT SUMMARY
30th December 2015, in a speech broadcast on a state radio, Burundian president vowed to fight AU troops if they ever step foot in Burundi.
The leader recently candidly claimed deployment of AU peacekeepers as violation of Burundi sovereignty.
The 54-memberAfrican Union had given Burundi a four day deadline on December 17 to accept 5,000 strong force to intervene months of violence and unrest witnessed since Nkurunziza was elected in a controversial third term.
Burundi leader has called on all African Union stakeholders to respect the borders of the country and if the troops get to Burundi, he urged Burundian people to stand up to fight them.
Burundi leadership opposition of AU force deployment is tricky to peace and stability of the broader East Africa region citing the country is facing imminent civil war if escalating violence is not stopped.
Burundi is still recovering from an ethnically-charged civil war between majority Hutus and minority Tutsis, which cost an estimated 300,000 lives between 1993 and 2006.
Since April 2015, hundreds of people have been killed and thousands others displaced when opponents of Nkurunziza’s re-election bid took to the streets in protest.
every tyrant always tends to overestimate his powers
In other words, this bugger is writing his own death sentence
MadMax III
It’s forko jembes like him who belong to Hague
Greed in the end
even fails the greedy…
Niko Maje…so dirunk.
Yaani nkurunziza thinks he will compete with Africa or the world, can someone advice him, Burundi can be subdivided into small locations like Somalia, he should also be told by a clever person we as Africa will not watch people dying in Burundi
Tell him also that gbagbo tried it but he is in jail, Gaddafi is rotting in a grave in the desert and assad is not in peace. Better he makes a rational decision before things take a nosedive.
True Mr juma
he thinks africans shield criminals that is not true,we may think abot taking him to ICC ourselves.
Muammar Gaddafi.
Gaddafi was a leader unlike tiz hooligan
Gaddafi was the best leader for Libya…quality healthcare,education,accommodation etc but nkururinza has done nothing….it’s greedy for power that will destroy him…
Comparing this imbecile with Gadaffi is wrong.the only reason he was assasinated was he was fighting for a United states of Africa.
huyu anasema tu hajui agenda ya gaddafi ilikua nini…bure kabisa!
Zushsky Fabiansky Lucas,You will see what would hapun next. Those are the best examples in hand.
Always prideful hearts destroy leaders.
Ronald Undasnr @ i fully support you libya was the best governed country in Africa,but evil minds entered libyans hearts and misled by US govt
Kwanza, anaweza guza KDF?
lets ask him that
no more killings,no more innocent blood sent .AU where are we?
I see storm is prevailing in Burundi……but i asure the people of Burundi peace will prevail
Hague material
eheh he wil be gunning his own troops they serve the au!!
Nyani haoni kundule,,,,selfishness will kill African leaders
At last peace shall and will prevail
Take him out
Fools are those who will be at war with the African troops. That Nkurunziza will not carry a gun anywhere near that war, he will be somewhere in his house coitusing his wife if that is the right word to use.
An example of a selfish and stupid kind of a leader…this man must rot in jail one day
And rot in hell too
Ha ha ha ha.No comment.
I hope to see ur name in ICC one day….heartless man
Now he thinks he is God
I have nothing to say about this,,, may peace prevail, Burundi also has its forces in Somalia, I think there should be another way to solve this rather than going to war
“The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”

this dictator should be smoked out very fast how comes African leaders supported him first.
Pieere Let Me Tell You Free,wise Man Loves His People And Respect Is Better Than Anything,quit Safely Or We Destroy U
tell him loudly if he is deaf he should read these words of wisdom here,he is a joker
Nkurunzinza If You Are A Parent Enough,dont Let Your People To Suffer,no Time You Will Be Filled With World Things,in God Eyes Is That Cursed Is The Man Withold Justice From The Alien,the Fatherless Or A Widow
we can only wait and see how it unfolds.
The situation is really sad.if aU troops r unwelcome,why not try sharing power with the opposition.That is forming a coalition 2 ease the prevailing tension.A time has come 4 Pres.Nkurunziza 2 eat a humble pie.That is only my opinion.
i dont think as a military man ,these words can scare me,this is a a very laughable joke,we are used to these not even within African borders but states like Afghanistan,Siera Leone,Eritrea,Iraq,Kuwait ,Botswana,Zimbabwe etal.Those who saw us there,the actions are witnesses.We will enter Burundi by that invasion force as it is termed by Burundian govt officials and do what military is called for.Burundi must be peaceful by all means.Pierre should not include innocent citizens in war for they are hungry,thirsty,naked,homeless,sick,injured ,raped,harassed,and all manner of human suffering .He should negotiate with his people and disallow them from fleeing the country,and assure them of protection.Nkurunzizza must understand if he is limited to thinking that AU is unbeatable especially when KDF,Egyptian ARMY,SOUTH AFRICAN FORCES ARE IN PLACE.we only need to send 1000 troops in Burundi and accomplish the mission.As we enter new year 2016 Burundi must change for better.We are with you Burundians.
I like that Mr mathiu
Christopher Chege @ thanks brother,we are all equal before God and before human beings difference is ever there.We should do to others as we expect done to us, for what has been set free on earth even in heaven is free.Thanks alot bro chege
AU will be there to stop the senseless killing, not to fight the stupid government. Burundi people will assassinate this guy and peace will prevail.
He’s a dolt country is land locked. He needs to respect AU.just blockade on land and air …halafu tuone
You fool
thats funny ..kenya’s Administration Police catholic choir is enough to put the burundi army onto its knees
Even SALVATION ARMY CHRISTIANS ARE BETTER THAN BURUNDIAN SOLDIERS.
When salt loses its savour is fit for nothing. It can only be thrown away.
Simple-TAKE HIM OUT-others we’re
Soon you are going to face the tune.
A veritable “Loony” behind his “christian facade’..Did I mention “Mad”?
He should know people! where is Mohamar Gadafi?
