About: He would be an “ardent” Catholic. He began studies in law at the University of Burundi (UB), but was still studying in 1995 when Hutu students were massacred as part of the inter-ethnic violence that accompanied the Burundian Civil War (1993–2005). He fled to join the National Council for the Defense of Democracy—Forces for the Defense of Democracy—which drew its support predominantly from ethnic Hutus. As he rose through the ranks of the group during the civil war, he presided over its militia and military activities. He gained the nickname “Neva”. He studied at the Wisdom University of Africa and earned a degree in 2014. He also chaired the Burundi National Olympic Committee for much of this period.
