Burundi’s President Évariste Ndayishimiye has said that homosexuals in his country should be stoned.
Responding to a reporter’s question, Mr Ndayishimiye, a fervent Catholic, said powerful nations should keep their aid if it comes with an obligation to give rights to homosexuals.
Some African leaders have in the past accused donor countries of trying to impose their values on the continent.
Homosexual sex is illegal in Burundi and punishable by up to several years in jail.
Talking to journalists at a press conference, President Ndayishimiye used a Bible reference to say that God was opposed to homosexuality adding that it was no longer an issue in Burundi. END.
