Finally something good from Burundi. Hassan Ndayishimiye made it at Wimbledon tennis championships. He is likely to make it further.
Although Burundi is becoming another Somalia, where anarchy and disorder are the rules of the game, we cannot afford to give up.
Hassan Ndayishimiye currently ranks 112 in the world among juniors, which is great since Burundi ranks last in the world in matters democratic governance, in matters of economic reform and vision.
There are so many other talents in Burundi. I know many other young people abroad who used to be live in refugee camps who are doing extremely good in American schools. The potential and the talent are there. The political will to create a stimulating environment where thinkers can innovate, where doers can do and where farmers can farm without fear is still missing. But this is yet another example that Burundians can be like other citizen of the world. Can compete and do fine!
Congrats Ndayishimiye!
Tuzokizwa n'akavuye hejuru!
