Former Burundi minister for East African Community (EAC) affairs Hafsa Mossi has been shot dead by unknown gunmen outside her home in Bujumbura.
"She was near her home and a tinted car knocked her from behind, she went out to see what happened and was shot twice," a close relative told The East African.
Ms Mossi was the chairman of the East African Legislative Assembly's (EALA) Burundi chapter and had played a critical role in Burundi's integration into the EAC.
She was the first Burundi EAC minister and had been conducting sensitisation workshops with the EALA's Burundi chapter with different stakeholders at the grassroots level on the benefits of Burundi's integration into the bloc.
