Pierre Nkurunziza (French pronunciation: ​[pjɛʁ n̪kyʁœ̃ziza]; 18 December 1964 – 8 June 2020) was a Burundian politician who served as the ninth president of Burundi for almost 15 years from August 2005 until his death in June 2020, making him the longest-serving president in the nation's history.
Ooo, that's a keeper!  Into the diary it goes, like a trussed-up missionary into a cannibal's cauldron! 


... His death occurred after the 2020 elections, but ahead of the projected hand-over of power in August. It had been intended that he would continue to remain prominent in public life as "Supreme Guide of Patriotism" (along with consulting with the government), as well as receiving a $500,000 payout from the state and a luxury villa. Seven national days of mourning were announced following his death.
Bonus prize! "[[Cannibal's Cauldron]]" is now a punk band in New Minneapolis, Canada.
