Burundi's singing president marks four years in power
AFP:- BUJUMBURA — He washes the poor's feet, sings the gospel with passion and dances the Congolese ndombolo like no other.
For five days, Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza invited his people to join a Christian extravaganza of song, dance and prayer -- starring himself -- to celebrate his four years in power.
Wearing a black suit and white tee-shirt, the central African country's leader leaps in the air, twists and twirls with a microphone in hand.
Right up until Monday's closing show, around 15,000 people gathered every day on one of Bujumbura's largest football pitches to give thanks to God and Nkurunziza, their country's undisputed top two celebrities.
From the stage, the sprightly 45-year-old former rebel leader works the crowd: "I ask you to give a round of applause for our good Lord!"

That was really excelent! I pray, one day, one of our leaders may do the same as "Ethiopia shall streach out her hands to the Lord" which will happen soon!Amen
That WILL NEVER HAPPEN in Ethiopia, atleast NOT soon. I don't know about Brundi's religious demography but GIVEN OURS, THAT IS UNTHINKABLE. WE ALL [CHRISTIANS] WISH THAT TO HAPPEN BUT WISH AND REALITY, POLETICS AND RELIGION CAN'T BE MIXED AT MODERN AGE. WHAT DO U FEEL IF THE PRIME MINISTER CALL ALL ETHIOPIANS FOR MUSLIM SALAT PRAYERS AT STADIUM FOR NEW YEAR CELEBRATION!! LOVE OTHERS AS YOURSELF. IF SOMETHING HURTS U WHEN OTHERS DO IT THEN DON'T DO IT YOURSELF [NOT TO HURT OTHERS]. AFTER ALL CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT LOVE [EVEN YOUR ENEMIES]. This post has 5 feedbacks awaiting moderation...
