Denise Bucumi Nkurunziza, the First Lady of Burundi flew to Nairobi. She embarked on a medical flight of the organization Amref, based in Kenya.
The reasons for this trip are not the subject of any official communication. But according to information from our colleagues at SOS Media Burundi, the plane that transported it had on board a doctor and a nurse.



She arrived in a convoy of 7 vehicles, including 2 pick-ups of soldiers who ensured her safety. With three members of his cabinet, there was also Albert Nasasagare, the deputy chief of state protocol.
Local source requesting anonymity
The first lady and her team were not registered. The airport commander took care of placing exit visas in the passports of those concerned.
“There must be something hidden from us, why turn off the tarmac lights and refuse passenger check-in. In any case, it's really strange, ”comments a police source.

For now SOS Media Burundi does not know the reasons for this night evacuation of the First Lady.
What we do know however. The nurse and doctor on board the flight are associated with Kenya Medical Research, an establishment chosen by Africa CDC (Africa Centers for Disease and Prevention), as a center of excellence in the evaluation of Covid-19.
As revealed by SOS M?dias Burundi, on the 21st, the Burundian minister in charge of health had left on an airplane of the same organization . He returned to Bujumbura on Tuesday.

What did Pierre Nkurunziza die from?

As the coronavirus advances in Burundi, some dispute the version that the Burundian president died of a heart attack.

Burundian authorities have long denied the existence of the Covid-19 pandemic in that country and official figures, largely underestimated, now concede around 100 deaths. Added to this is the recent death of President Pierre Nkurunziza, who officially died of a heart attack. Several sources, however, contradict the official position.

Three sources close to political and medical circles in Africa told us that Pierre Nkurunziza died from the coronavirus. A disease that the late president allegedly concealed, even refusing to go to the hospital for treatment.
Listen to the audio 08:46
Alexis Sinduhije: "I honestly think that Nkurunziza was killed by the Covid-19."

"I think that Nkurunziza was killed by the Covid-19. The diseases of the heads of state, especially at home, are the best kept secret, maintains the opponent Alexis Sinduhije, the president of the Movement for Solidarity and Democracy (MSD).

Manipulations

The Burundian authorities for their part dispute this assertion and speak of manipulation, as a Burundian ambassador posted to a European country explained to us.

Alarming situation

Reports of the Covid-19 pandemic from Burundi are alarming.

Indeed, Pierre Nkurunziza had denied the existence of this disease from its onset. He had declared on each of his official outings that his country was protected by God.
Listen to the audio 03:52
Dr Benjamin Djoudalbaye: "We stick to the official information in our possession"

A posture that does not facilitate the task of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the African Union, according to Dr Benjamin Djoudalbaye, head of political and diplomacy division of health and communication at the center based in Addis Ababa.

Several sources admit that the figures for patients in Burundi are underestimated in the absence of real information.

Pacifique Nininahazwe, the president of the Forum for Consciousness and Development (Focode) is also worried about the evolution of the pandemic in Burundi.

"The coronavirus kills many Burundians, in total silence, in total denial by the Burundian authorities. We would like the death of Nkurunziza to be a moment of start on this serious pandemic in Burundi. And we ask for a real investigation into the reasons for the death of president ", says human rights activist at DW.

A source close to the Burundian government said it feared a serious health situation. The contaminations would multiply. If we do not impose screening, the days ahead will be gloomy in terms of health, fear this source.

As of June 12, 2020, Burundi has recorded 94 cases of infected people, one death and 71 people healed, according to the African Union Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Burundi expelled the WHO representative, Dr. Walter Mulombo, and three others from his staff in mid-May. Burundian authorities have accused them of extrapolating the actual number of people affected by Covid-19.

Burundi has recorded 28 confirmed cases of coronavirus
08 July 2020

Bujumbura, Burundi, July 8 (Infosplusgabon) - Burundi has registered 28 new cases of coronavirus after tests carried out on 670 samples, as part of a "systematic, voluntary and free" screening campaign for the inhabitants of Bujumbura, the capital Economic, which started last Monday, announced Wednesday, the Ministry of Public Health.

The M?ridien Source du Nil Hotel has been selected to serve as a screening site in the city center, the Kamenge Secondary Technical School (ETS) in the north, and the Kanyosha parish, south of Bujumbura.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Health, Jean-Bosco Girukwishaka, gave a more detailed assessment of 15 of the 28 new infections that were detected on a sample of 277 people taken north of Bujumbura.

He reported 11 other positive cases detected in a sample of 180 people south of the city.

The last 2 cases returned positive to COVID-19 were found on a sample of 183 people in downtown Bujumbura.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health said that only the elderly, with conditions associated with COVID-19 such as diabetes or hypertension, were immediately admitted to the hospital.

Health care is free for people hospitalized for COVID-19, he said.

The other cases considered less serious were quarantined at the H?tel M?ridien Source du Nil for a period of 14 days, at the expense of the Burundian State.

In addition, people living alone, without risk of contamination for others, were allowed to confine themselves at home.

The new Burundian president, Evariste Ndayishimiye, declared the coronavirus "public enemy n ? 1", without however taking the decisive step of confining populations.

The new regime has also decided to subsidize the price of soap and running water for hand washing, "until the pandemic is eradicated".

In Burundi, official figures indicate 3,285 suspected cases of COVID-19 that have been tested to date. 219 cases were found to be positive for one death and 118 cures, while another 100 are still under medical supervision.

The first imported cases appeared in late March on two Burundian nationals who had traveled to the United Arab Emirates and neighboring Rwanda.
