Movement for Patriotic Actions (MPA - Burundi Buhire)
Movement for Patriotic Actions is a political movement created by a group of Burundians. The idea of creating a political citizens movement was inspired by the crisis that erupted in Burundi in 2015 following president Nkurunziza's quest for a a third mandate. The lack of a truly patriotic political entity prompted a number of intellectuals from inside Burundi and from the diaspora to create a political movement centered on the idea of the "refounding the state of Burundi". According to founding members, the political systems that have run Burundi from independence to this day were so flawed that the only way forward is to re-engineer the political system.

Motto
Peace, Justice, Prosperity

Creation
MPA was officially founded in Manchester, United Kingdom on 12/07/2018. Founding members met in the Northern English City of Manchester where the foundations and official ideological and guiding principles were formally agreed upon.

"The refoundation of the state in my opinion, it is the break, it is the Big Bang, which makes it possible to make a clean sweep of old clothes, defects and old habits that die hard. A past that is shameful. It is a more or less long process, an operation undertaken over a period of time intended to review the bases on which our institutions, our policy, functioned. It is a question of replacing them with modern, adequate, necessary elements, in accordance with the new situations, the new demands, the new requirements of our populations. It is a reconsideration of the bases - principles, values, beliefs, mentalities - on which our State relies to build its development strategy and good governance. »....

"The refoundation of the state often intervenes to correct, to restore order (we speak of the new order). It intervenes to put an end to a situation of chaos, of laisser-faire, a deliquescence of manners, a loss of landmarks and faith, in institutions and men. It comes when doubt exists in the minds of the leaders and populations of a state. " (Advocacy for a new Republic, Mr. Louis Gaston MAYILA, Gabonese politician)

Political and Ideological Innovations
MPA is politically and ideologically an innovation on the political scene in Burundi. It proposes a refoundation of the State of Burundi to put the welfare of citizens at the centre of political processes and systems.

Political declaration
At the end of a broad consultation process, Burundians living in Burundi and those of the Diasporas decided to create a citizen political movement for the refoundation of the Nation and the Burundian State, called "Movement of Patriotic Actions" (MPA) - Burundi Buhire " and to implant it in Burundi and in the countries where many of the Burundian compatriots reside or have found refuge.

MPA is a new framework of political and civic expression open to Burundian men and women of integrity, animated by patriotic spirit, competent and ready for major national projects. It is a unifying and inclusive political and citizen movement, whose mission is to redress the chaotic situation our country Burundi is in; by working to build a modern, secular, dignified and prosperous state based on rule of law, and to improve the collective well-being of all Burundians
