Burundi President Pierre Nkurunzinza\u2019s widow, has been discharged from a\u00a0 Nairobi hospital \u00a0after being treated for an underlying condition after contacting Covid-19 as her husband lay in state after succumbing to what was reported as \u2018heart attack\u2019 two days ago in Karuzi, eastern Burundi.<\/p>\n

She has left the Kenya\u2019s capital back to Bunjumbura.\u00a0At the same time, the fate of doom seem to follow the family as Nkurunziza\u2019s mother Domtille Minani has died.<\/p>\n

Reports indicate that the President elect Evariste Ndayishimiye is admitted at Bumureki Hospital in Bujumbura and the country\u2019s Speaker of Parliament who would stand in in case the President is indisposed unable to discharge constitutional duties is also sick.<\/p>\n

These developments have thrown a nation into a panic and confusion for deaths and sicknesses related to Coronavirus after the late Nkurunzinza dismissed the COVID-19 pandemic as a facade and went ahead to expel World health Organisation officials from the country.<\/p>\n

A statement from State House Burundi indicated Nkurunzinza died of heart attack.\u00a0\u201cThe outgoing President was taken ill on Saturday afternoon after attending a volleyball match,\u201d read part of the terse statement.\u00a0Ironically, President Nkurunzinza had refused to effect social distancing measures in the country and allowed social gatherings including sports and religious gatherings to continue unabated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nkurunzinza was set to step down after dropping off the Presidential race allowing Evariste to stand in an election that was carried amidst the Covid 19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Nkurunzinza was an outstanding regional counterpart who served his country with distinction as Head of State and Government, and worked tirelessly for the peace and stability of his country and the Great Lakes Region,\u201d said President Uhuru.<\/p>\n

Nkurunzinza died at the age 55 after ruling the tiny nation for 15 years through a military coup and has left a country with\u00a0 a weak economic standing after it was cut off from donors following reports of widespread human rights abuses.<\/p>\n

With a youthful population of over 11 million people, Burundi\u2019s GDP stood at USD 3.037 Billion in 2018 according to World Bank statistics.<\/p>\n
