Burundi has announced the setting aside of six days in January to commit the country into the hands of God.
President Pierre Nkurunziza announced the move Wednesday, saying the six days of prayers would help in finding solutions to the country’s myriad of challenges.
Nkurunziza made a similar declaration two years ago to thank God for his interventions throughout that year and to guide him in the following year.
According to local media reports, Nkurunziza urged all citizens to join in seeking God’s intervention for the East African country.
Born on December 18, 1963, Nkurunzia, who was once a Burundian educator and former leader of a Hutu rebel group, became president of Burundi in 2005.
His ascension to power has led to some challenges in various sectors of the economy, social lives, education, among others.“We inherited a country in ruins, we rebuilt it and all areas of life have been developed…Rwanda as a country attacked us, it is not their army” Pierre Nkurunziza.
