- Burundi's parliament has approved a draft law to pay President Pierre Nkurunziza $530,000 and provide him with a luxury villa when he leaves office in May, along with a lifetime salary and the title of "supreme leader."
- The proposal, passed by 98 lawmakers and opposed by two, also grants benefits to former presidents who were democratically elected, but has faced criticism for its extravagance in a country where most people live in poverty.
