Burundi Country, heart of Africa

Burundi country

I write about Burundi country, because i remember the day when Heidi Greider http://www.justdoinwhatgodwants.blogspot.com/ And Buchan Leigh www.globalsupportmission.orgcame to visited the Batwa of Burundi, Heidi Greider Has a map and asked me all times about what she saw in her map, about the rivers, lake Tanganyika, forest Kibira, the name of some provinces which we visited, how the burundians live. So I take this time to discribe the Burundi country so many people can know the Burundi country:

Burundi is a country located in central Africa; south of Rwanda; east of the Democratic Republic of Congo and southwest of Tanzania. In addition to exporting coffee, tea, cotton to those countries, Burundi is always paying $43 million to rich countries. Now they are exploring the mineral resources we have, to take it and let us stay poor. The former fighters make our government, there are many agendas that we cannot know, but surely those former fighters are paying back the weapons they used. But Burundians continue to die from disease, hunger, and ignorance keeping us exploited and under slavery from a foreign power.

Burundi is small but rich in what it holds: gold (in a small quantity), Uranium, Nickel (is in high quantity), hydropower including oil, cobalt etc. This country, equal in size to Belgium, but with more resources, should not register a high rate of mortality with a life expectancy limited to 40 years.

If you are interested in Burundi you know that more than 68 percent are living in extreme poverty, it means people living under 1 dollar a day. In 2005 the international community led by the UN decided to indeed support Burundi and Sierra Leone, the two last countries in the World

Burundi have many things which are very beautiful, coffee, lake Tanganyika,good nature and forests.
