Predefinição:Date Pierre Nkurunziza, the President of Burundi, died at the age of 55 on Monday. The government of Burundi on Tuesday announced his death and announced the cause of death as a cardiac arrest. Nkurunziza became president of the African nation in 2005 and was due to stand down in August.
The government statement, which was posted on Twitter, announced the President's death "with great sorrow to Burundians and the international community." Nkurunziza was taken ill on Saturday evening, after attending a volleyball game, and taken to hospital. Despite signs of recovery on Sunday, he suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday and died, they stated. Seven day of national mourning has been announced.
As of Tuesday, his widow, Denise, was being medically treated in Kenya. An Al Jazeera reporter in Kenya noted local news reports said she was diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
Nkurunziza was currently serving his third term as President after first being elected in 2005. His decision to run for a third term sparked tensions and a failed coup in the country in which hundreds died. The constitution was changed again, allowing him to run for a forth term before he announced he would stand down. He was due to be succeeded as President in August by Evariste Ndayishimiye.
Burundi was engaged in a 12-year civil war before Nkurunziza's presidency. Around 300,000 people were killed in the conflict, during which Nkurunziza served in the CNDD-FDD, the group that would eventually become the nation's ruling party.
