Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza has died of a heart attack, according to the government.

In a statement posted on Twitter on Tuesday, the government announced “with great sorrow to Burundians and the international community” the passing of Nkurunziza, 55.

The outgoing president died at Karusi hospital after suffering a heart attack on June 8, the statement added.

First Lady Denise was airlifted to Nairobi 10 days ago, reportedly ill with #Covid19, leading some to speculate Nkurunziza too might have been infected.
