Burundi – The Capital is on the Move

Burundi is one of several countries that have changed their capital city.  In January of this year, the Burundian Parliament made it official for the country’s capital to move from Bujumbura to Gitega. 
The city’s capital is moving from a location that is said to have about 333 thousand people, it has a little over 23 thousand people. 
However, in 2007, the present president, Pierre Nkurunziza, promised the people that this move was going to take place.
