Burundi’s President Evariste Ndayishimiye launched a virulent anti-gay tirade on Friday, saying same-sex couples should be publicly stoned.
He also lashed out at Western countries that press other nations to allow gay rights or risk losing aid.
Homosexuality in Burundi, a conservative Christian country in East Africa, has been criminalised since 2009 with prison terms of up to two years for consensual same-sex acts.
The record is so bad it gets its own Wikipedia entry.

This guy’s a clown and a failure of a leader. His country is a mess and he can’t run it properly. Maybe he should focus on his own failures before attributing failures to others.
I was just thinking about the connection between homophobia and poverty.
It’s always the poor nations that focus their efforts on things that don’t matter.
You don’t get it. It’s because of all the gays
So, a conservative country then.
A lot of countries have their own “Human Rights in <country>” page
