Adrien Sibomana

Burundian politician
Sibomana in 1991

Adrien Sibomana (born 4 September 1953, in Bukeye, Muramvya) was the prime minister of Burundi from 19 October 1988 until 10 July 1993. He was a member of UPRONA. He is an ethnic Hutu and was appointed by the Tutsi President Pierre Buyoya in an unsuccessful attempt to appease Hutus by giving a few high government posts to them.[1] Sibomana was the first Hutu prime minister since 1973 and had been the governor of Muramvya Province previously.[2]

Retired from politics after this experience, he is currently leading the movement of organic agriculture in Burundi. He is an active member of KiliMohai [3] East African organic label, which is part of IFOAM East Africa. He declares being involved in organic agriculture since 2011.[4]
