Une Nation en Marche — 60 Years of Traps Avoided (Benjamin Ndagijimana)
An essay that dares to bet on Burundi's future. Sixty years after independence, the author retraces the traps avoided and sketches, figures and stakes in hand, the country's possible trajectory through 2040-2060.
Sixty years on — what next?
This isn't another history book closing the past. Benjamin Ndagijimana, with five co-authors, takes the opposite bet: standing at the edge of the present and looking forward. The starting point is concrete — 60 years of traps avoided since independence — and the destination is just as clear: a reflection on historical resilience and the levers of accelerated transformation through the 2040-2060 horizon, under President Évariste Ndayishimiye.
An essay, not a manual
Prefaced by Sylvestre Ntibantunganya, the book takes an engaged stance without ever collapsing into a checklist of ready-made fixes. It questions governance, the fight against corruption, the transformation of the education system — and speaks to leaders and ordinary citizens alike, to the young and the old, to the diaspora and to those living the country day to day.
A read for anyone who wants to understand Burundi's yesterday, today and tomorrow — not just endure it.
