Pierre Kurunziza is the current President of Burundi who is murdering people, just as Machiavelli taught, in order to keep his job. They say he is a born again Christian who travels with his personal gospel choir to prove his born again credentials. His wife is also reported to be pastor. Asked why he wanted to continue to be president of Burundi when he could not produce any substantial achievement in his nine years in power, he faulted the journalist interviewing him for focusing on the negative. So working to improve the lives of the people of Burundi is a negative in his sight and yet he is president. One of his friends is reported to have said that the man beliefs God wants him to remain president of Burundi. Perhaps it is customary for God to ask people to murder others to remain in power! This follower of Jesus would make born again Christians everywhere proud. But Machiavelli would be prouder!
