#ThePowerofOne Translation: The man in this picture is Gabriel Rupyiri. He is a citizen activist in Burundi. On September 25, he alone rose up in the city of Bujumbura, wearing pants, shirt, an umbrella, and flag and with banner printed with this image of a miserable citizen trying to feed a FAT cat type, Manager. His goal: to expose corruption in his country. He was alone, because the Burundian authorities prohibit public demonstrations. This is a perfect example of what LUCHA is all about: citizen consciousness expressed in concrete, courageous, bold actions. Because change often begins with each of us, not by the other or the community; not if one does nothing. RFI reported that police loaded him into a pick-up and took him back home (They were afraid to imprison him!) This is the strength of determination and nonviolence! People like Rupyiri are for Burundi as the Lucheens are for the DRC! (Translated by Bing)
