Something is falling apart, once again, in Burundi. Or, something seems to be falling apart in Burundi. This morning, I posted on the video that has emerged of the protests in Burundi. It was, now it appears, a premonition. The news, at this point, is that a coup has been declared in Burundi. Pierre Nkurunziza, who at the time of the coup was the President, is in Tanzania. It is said he went to meet with other African leaders to discuss a solution to the problem he has created in Burundi. Or, to be a little crude and patronising, to discuss the problem he is to Burundi. Back at home. The ending has began. An army general, Godefroid Niyombareh, has declared him an illegal President. He has claimed that a committee has been set up to run the government. If successful, Nkurunziza will go like Compaore . Once hailed. Now a memory. All for a little hangover of power. However, it is too early to declare now. The world media is watching. And expecting. Praying that something happen...
