President Ndayishimiye’s travel comes a week after the European Union lifted sanctions against Gitega imposed since 2016.
The European Union announced on February 8, 2022 the lifting of sanctions against Burundi that were imposed after violent protests against the former president Pierre Nkurunziza led to one thousand people losing their lives.
