Burundi’s leader Pierre Nkurunziza has a lot on his plate at the moment, after a failed coup last week, and continuing protests over his third-term bid. But matters of state weren’t enough to prevent the president playing in his daily kickabout with friends in the capital, Bujumbura on Wednesday.
The president’s passion for football is well known. He even has his own team, called Hallelujah FC.
His official biography on the Burundian government website says he is “a talented sportsman who enjoys playing soccer and riding a bicycle”, and that when playing for Hallelujah FC “he plays as a striker and scores regularly”.
