Foreign heads of states chose to stay away for Pierre Nkurunziza’s Swearing in for his third term in office.
Having served a constitutional two tenures, Nkurunziza took Burundi to the precipice by insisting on a third term.
Opposition candidates boycotted the elections in which he was elected practically unopposed.
Addressing the AU last month, American president Barrack Obama strongly condemned Nkurunziza’s actions and several heads of state seem to share the same sentiment.
