Kibimba, Burundi – In a powerful display of faith and unity, President General Evariste Ndayishimiye, along with his family and a gathering of political authorities, local leaders, and pastors, convened at Kibimba in the province of Mwaro on Sunday, October 1, 2023. The President’s address to the people during this prayer service underscored the enduring role of prayer in Burundian politics and daily life.
Burundi, a nation known for its deep-rooted spiritual traditions, has consistently seen political leaders, including the President, coming together every Sunday to participate in communal prayers. This practice not only serves as a demonstration of unity but also highlights the significance of spirituality in the lives of its citizens.
During the prayer service at Kibimba, President Ndayishimiye, known for his devout faith, took to the pulpit to lead the people in prayer. His message was one of gratitude to God for the blessings bestowed upon the Burundian people. He
emphasized the need for every citizen to express their thankfulness to the Almighty for His favor and protection over the years.
“Today, as we gather here in Kibimba, we must all come together as a nation to express our gratitude to God for all of His favors shown to Burundians,” President Ndayishimiye passionately stated. “Our faith in God must remain unshaken. In these challenging times, we should not be alarmed but maintain our trust in Him, for it is through His grace that we will continue to preserve and advance the interests of our beloved nation of Burundi.”
The President’s words resonated deeply with the gathered congregation, who responded with heartfelt prayers and hymns. Local leaders, including mayors and community representatives, echoed his sentiments, emphasizing the importance of unity and faith in steering Burundi toward a prosperous future.
The role of spirituality in Burundian politics cannot be understated. Over the past two decades, prayers and religious gatherings have been a source of strength and resilience for the nation, particularly during times of adversity.
In addition to fostering national unity, these gatherings serve as a platform for political authorities and local leaders to connect with their constituents, fostering a sense of community and trust.
As the nation continues to grapple with various challenges, including economic development and social cohesion, President Ndayishimiye’s call for unity and faith in God carries significant weight. The President’s message at Kibimba serves as a reminder that, in the face of adversity, Burundi remains resolute in its determination to protect and advance the interests of its people.
