The European Union (EU) suspended recently the aids given to the country Burundi and this facilities is a total package which has been going on since 2014 and would have extended to 2020. The package worth about 430 million Euro (480 million U.S dollars) and for a country like Burundi to be deprived of this huge sum of money, it would sincerely hurt the government of the self imposed president of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza so badly.
The suspension came most probably as a result of the violence being carried out in the country (Burundi) by the government of Pierre Nkurunziza who allegedly committed lots of human rights abuses in his country. Innocent people of the country are being killed on daily basis, women are being raped in the country by some men loyal to the self imposed president of Burundi Pierre Nkurunziza and no one talks about it, this is unacceptable. Again the peace loving people of Africa appreciates the suspension of this aid facilities to the Burundi government because it is not being channelled in the right direction and now that his government is going to be starved of most facilities by the international communities, this may lead his government to collapse at the end. The reason Burundi is having an unrest is that this dictator called Pierre Nkurunziza has completed his two tenures of office as the president of Burundi which the constitution of the county specified and he has refused to step down. Since the violence started, over 450 people have been killed in the country.
We (Viewers corner) appreciate the concern and care of the European Union towards the Burundi people, however the European Union has said that humanitarian assistance would continue to flow to the innocent people of the country which is very good. We also plead with the African Union to take the good example of what the European Union has done and act accordingly too. Pierre Nkurunziza is a dictator and has no reason to be in power till now, the constitution of Burundi says so and must be respected.
