Burundi’s President Evariste Ndayishimiye launched a virulent anti-gay tirade on Friday, saying same-sex couples should be publicly stoned.

He also lashed out at Western countries that press other nations to allow gay rights or risk losing aid.

Homosexuality in Burundi, a conservative Christian country in East Africa, has been criminalised since 2009 with prison terms of up to two years for consensual same-sex acts.

    “Burundi is the poorest country in the world by GDP per capita, and is one of the least developed countries, facing widespread poverty, corruption, instability, authoritarianism, and illiteracy.”

    “The country’s dominant party is the National COuncil for the Defense of Democracy, a former Hutu faction in the civil war. It has widely been accused of authoritarian governance and perpetuating the country’s poor human right’s record”.

    The record is so bad it gets its own Wikipedia entry.

    This guy’s a clown and a failure of a leader. His country is a mess and he can’t run it properly. Maybe he should focus on his own failures before attributing failures to others.
