Appears to be another CYA article, this time by ANN.
Does not tell us the ACTUAL happenings in Burundi.

I hope this statement DOES NOT appear in Liberty Magazine.

Yeah. What’s the real story and where can we find it?

According to ANN - all detainees have been released.

His refusal to leave office appears a sabotage of the functioning of the Adventist Church in a country where Adventists occupy positions of responsibility to loyally and wholeheartedly serve their country. His illegal occupation of the Church offices with the help of the police prevents the duly elected officials from needed access to church property.

I wish I could hear from the voice of the church leader that refuses to leave his office. He must have his reasons, but sadly they are not presented in this SDA news release. I wonder what the local members have to say about this situation? This article appears to be one-sided–only from the top leadership position.
