The government confirmed on Thursday that a May 12 letter from the foreign ministry was sent to WHO country head Walter Kazadi Mulombo and three others of the U.N. body’s health experts, ordering them out by Friday.
The head of a regional disease control body, John Nkengasong, called the expulsions “unfortunate” and criticised the decision to hold elections during a health crisis. During Burundi’s election campaign, large crowds have been gathering despite strict lockdowns and social-distance rules elsewhere in Africa and around the world.
Léonce Ngendakumana, a presidential candidate for the opposition FRODEBU party, regretted the WHO team’s expulsion. “The country alone won’t be able to contain the pandemic,” he told Reuters.
