Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently confirmed he had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the government of Burundi. This MOU agreement is Hoskinson\u2019s first major preliminary agreement he has secured since kickstarting Cardano\u2019s African tour in mid-October, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meetings With Burundi and Zanzibar Leaders<\/h2>\n

Before traveling to Burundi, Hokisnson had visited<\/a> Zanzibar where he held meetings with Hussein Ali Mwinyi, the island nation\u2019s president. However, it is Hoskinson\u2019s Burundi visit that has helped Cardano to achieve its latest major agreement with an African state after it signed another deal<\/a> with the Ethiopian government back in April 2021.<\/p>\n

To break the news about his interactions with the Burundi government as well as Cardano\u2019s latest achievement, Hoskinson went on Twitter and shared some key moments of his Burundi tour. In his last tweet, he said: \u201cYes, we signed a great MOU today.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In an earlier tweet<\/a>, Hoskinson \u2014 who has since changed his Twitter profile picture to one that features himself and the Burundi President, \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye \u2014 talks about his meeting with the Burundi leader. He said:<\/p>\n

Great meeting with his excellency President \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye about the future of Burundi\u2019s digital transformation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Agreement with Burundi Government Questioned<\/h2>\n

While many supporters of Cardano have applauded Hoskinson for his efforts, some opponents of the president of Burundi have, however, expressed reservations about the agreement. For instance, one Reddit user named Diatery questioned Cardano\u2019s decision to hand over the blockchain to what he termed the wrong people. The user asked<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We know that Cardano wants to help reform Africa, so I looked deeper into what who Hoskinson is talking to. It didn\u2019t take long to see that he\u2019s handing tech to the wrong people. What kind of government is actually in power in Burundi, and who are these people that he\u2019s creating a partnership with exactly?<\/p>\n

To substantiate these reservations about President \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye\u2019s government, the user shares several supporting links including a U.S. government report<\/a> on Burundi. However, other Reddit users argued that Hoskinson has no other option except to work with government officials. The user wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t create public infrastructure without cooperation with public officials. If they are human rights violators, they are trash, but if the crypto game plays out as we all wish for, those autocrats sealing their own demise by catalysing adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n
