Burundi: The Visit’s secrets of President Evariste Ndayishimiye in Egypt
President Evariste Ndayishimiye made a working visit, at the invitation of his Egyptian counterpart, the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, His Excellency Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi, read in the communiqué of the Presidency. Accompanied by a strong delegation of 4 ministers (Albert Shingiro, the Chief of Burundian diplomacy, Thaddée Ndikumana in charge of health, Deo-Guide Rurema in charge of agriculture and livestock, and Ibrahim Uwizeye, in charge of Energy and mines) and 10 businessmen, President Ndayishimiye who left Bujumbura on March 23, 2021 will finish his visit on March 26, 2021, according to the statement. “Egypt and Burundi have signed memoranda of understanding on tourism, teaching, culture and communication, can we read on the Twitter account of the presidency ” Ntare rushatsi House ”. According to the same Tweet, an agreement relating to the exemption of visa for diplomatic and service passports and another for the integrated execution of water resources in Burundi have been signed. The two delegations conducted investment discussions, technology transfer, Lake Tanganyika projects, the support of Egypt in the field of infrastructure and health …The businessmen who left with President Ndayishimiye include: Audacity Ndayizeye, Adrien Ntigacika, Rama K. Pandey, Saïdi Niyongabo, Anicet Ndoricimpa, Juma Mohamed, Jean Ndururutse, Methustlah Niyoyankunze and Gilbert Nzeyimana
We recall that Denise Nkurunziza had visited Egypt in June 2019, instead of her husband who had made the wrong decision to leave no more from the country after 2015. She officially had a mission of Visit the National Council of Women, an organ of the Egyptian government in charge of protecting rights and the promotion of women’s well-being. She took the opportunity to visit the Nasser in Cairo Institute, an Institute for Medical Research and Treatment. On June 26, 2019, she visited the Language Military Institute in the Kobri Al-Quoba region, where she was warmly welcomed by the commander of this military institute and colleagues. The images of Denise Bucumi in exclusive interview with Egyptian graded senior officers went around the world.
Although the file was not cited among the agenda items, President Ndayishimiye would have mentioned with his counterpart a very important case in relation to the arming of the troops. It is said that the military arsenal in terms of AK47 (what the common mortals call Kalashnikov) is too old and deserves to be completely replaced. It requires a lot of money that Evariste Ndayishimiye does not have today. He is looking for partners everywhere who can help him out of this serious economic crisis. The soldiers surveyed told us that after 10 cartridges drawn, the weapon falls to decreasing; which does not facilitate their work, especially in the period of war. What kind of war the President Ndayishimiye is preparing? If it is true that it is said that it is in the period of peace that the war is prepared, nothing says that the military clique to power does not think about making the war in the sub region or at least support the forces negatives that swear in the region; especially since these forces erected their positions in Kibira to attack neighbouring Rwanda. The talks between Burundi and Rwanda continue; some steps are being taken to soothe tensions, but that people know that CNDDFDD power will never cease to support genocidal groups that are always trying to destabilize Rwanda.
It was also said that the power Ndayishimiye would seek in Egypt from heavy weapons for the military on peacekeeping military in the Central African Republic and particularly in Somalia where our soldiers die in cascade in case of attacks by the Alshabab because they lack adapted equipment.
Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi will soon respond favourably at the request of Evarist Ndayishimiye of so much more than he also needs the support of Burundi in conflicts born to sharing and fair use of Nile waters; Burundi with the southernmost source of this small Rutovu river in Bururi Province but becomes a very important river through many countries. Hence the creation in 1999 of the Nile Basin Initiative (IBN). The crux of the problem is that Egypt has virtually no water apart from the one provided by the Nile. According to specialists like Mamdouh Hamza, a serious water crisis may hit Egypt and Sudan. Treaties of 1929 and 1959 give many benefits on Nile water to some countries like Egypt and Sudan when all upstream countries need to exploit this water as they see fit. Hence the proposal that is emerging is to say that these treaties must be reviewed for the interest of all countries crossed by Nile waters.
It should also be noted that the President of the Ethiopian Republic Sahle-Work Zewde was in Burundi on 9 February 2021 visiting two days, to strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two countries; she announced at her arrival in Bujumbura. Nile’s waters record did not miss the agenda of the program.
URN Hitamwoneza remains of the opinion that the treaties signed during the colonial period on the use of the Waters of the Nile by the countries they cross should be revisited for them to be beneficial to all these countries and especially that they are not a source unnecessary conflicts. The support of Burundi for either country, which has projects to be made on this river should not constitute a business or a kind of pressure to receive aid; Each country should first and foremost think about the kind of help to Grant to Burundi. Any help that goes directly to the rescue of the population in distress is welcome, but any support that helps the military clique to crush the people is to avoid. Any support for arming and military equipment granted to the Government of Burundi goes not only to the military, but also to the imbonerakure and the FDLR / FLN negative forces. Burundi’s partners should take this given account into account before all agree with the power of Gitega.
