Sir Creep 7,060 Posted August 16, 2015 The UN says that at least 96 people had been killed since the start of election-related unrest in April.Unidentified attackers have shot and killed Burundi’s former army chief of staff in the second high-profile killing this month, amid chaos linked to the disputed re-election of President Pierre Nkurunziza. Colonel Jean Bikomagu was shot dead outside his home in the capital Bujumbura in the morning as he returned from church, said a witness who declined to give his name. A former Burundian security chief and close ally of Nkurunziza was killed in early August. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the legend surrounding George, seen as he's been dead yonks? Died in 1973-74 and replaced - like Paul - with an imposter. Smoking gun evidence includes the final work by the real George being the oddly titled Living in the Material World album which ends with the song " That is All" (so the real George signs off by drawing attention to his present abode and - kind of - suggesting he might be heading for a spiritual realm soon). False George opens his account with the Dark Horse (i.e. I'm not what I seem to be) album and also the single Ding Dong Ding Dong (which repeats the phrase "ring out the old ring in the new." There's loads more, but clearly the world desperately needs a book on this subject and it's bound to sell millions of copies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
