The former Head of State of the Burundian Republic Col Jean Baptiste Bagaza dies at 69 years old due to severe illness he has been enduring for so long in one of the Brussels’ hospitals.
Different sources from Burundi inform that the elderly former President JB Bagaza was born in Bururi commune.
At the beginning of this year, there have been rumors circulating about his death but he urged that his time to die has not yet come.
That was few weeks after the murder of late Col Jean Bikomagu who was short dead.
Col Bagaza was removed from power through a coup planned by the former President Major Pierre Buyoya and fled to Uganda before heading to Libya.
In 1993 he came back in Burundi and one year later he created his own political party PARENA.
Currently, he was appointed as Senator for life.
