Burundian President Évariste Ndayishimiye has expressed serious concern over a growing problem affecting some men in the city of Bujumbura, which he says is linked to the use of drugs and strong alcoholic beverages that rob them of their ability to engage in sexual intercourse.
He made the remarks during the swearing-in ceremony of the new Governor of Bujumbura Province, Maj. Gen. Aloys Ndayikengurukiye, held at Stade Intwari.
President Ndayishimiye said drug abuse continues to be a major social problem, undermining the well-being and relationships of citizens.
He added that some marriages are breaking apart because women can no longer find sexual desire or stamina in their husbands, prompting them to seek intimacy elsewhere.
The Head of State called on Governor Ndayikengurukiye to put strong measures in place to combat all behaviors that erode moral conduct in the city, including drug use, consumption of illicit alcoholic drinks, and promiscuity, all of which threaten family stability.
