The latest news from Burundi, and hopes for the next government

Demonstrations continue, and police and protestor clashes are ongoing.  The details are here.

I hope that whoever forms the next government adopts a more active role in promoting competitive capitalism in the economy while continuing to provide social development and protection.  This is basically the Rwandan model, which has made people there richer, and seems to be the recent drift of the DRC government too.  Goodwill from international donors helps a lot, in facilitating access to international capitalists, giving local market development assistance, and granting funds for the social projects.  It is a mainstream economic plan in developed countries, so I think goodwill would be available.
