President Barrack Obama Set To Drop Burundi From Trade Benefits Program
President
Barack Obama notified the United States Congress on Friday that he
plans to drop Burundi from the African Growth and Opportunity Act trade
benefits program as from January 1 next year because of violence related
to a political crisis in the country.
“In particular, the continuing crackdown on
opposition members, which
has included assassinations, extra-judicial killings, arbitrary
arrests, and torture, have worsened significantly during the election
campaign that returned President (Pierre) Nkurunziza to power earlier
this year,” Reuters quoted Obama as saying in a letter to Congress.
