        Let them enjoy their new found Home. Living in Burundi is like living in hell. Never ending wars.

        I agree with you. The political crisis in #Burundi has turned violent causing 100s of 1000s to flee into neighbouring countries.

        I hope they're not missing, I have a sneaking suspicion they're escaping the hell back home. I pray for their safety.

        I wish them the very best for their lives. Millions dragged across the Middle Passage, so these doors should never shut to Africans in need.
