He was inspired by Psalm 27 of the New Testament that reads: \u201cThe Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also says that he is happy that the report provided by MONUSCO confirms the declarations that he made concerning Burundians troops in Congo. \u201cAmong my enemies, there is one who said that instead of seeing me free and at home, he preferred to see me free at the cemetery\u201d, Mbonimpa reveals emotionally. Pacifique Nininahazwe, Chairman of Forum pour la Conscience et le D\u00e9veloppement (FOCODE) urges the police and security institutions to protect Mbonimpa and ensure his safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chairman of APRODH is now at home.
