This is only a comment but I would suggest mentioning Burundi somewhere in the hook given that not every reader would recognize Nkurunziza nor know what country he was president of.

Thanks for the comment, I'm not sure if it makes it more or less hooky, but I can give an extra ALT.

This is a short article, only just passing the minimum length requirements. However, I note that at the very least there is some information available in the Vandeginste source, such as dates of appointments and who they were appointed by, that should be included. The page number also needs to be fixed, as I'm not sure what's meant to be on 239. The hook topic is good, and I would be happy with both alts. However, I am not sure it needs to be presented as a single sentence in the article body, where perhaps a more chronological inclusion where her role at the time would fit, and in between other events, would be better. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing noticed.

Thanks for spotting the typo, fixed! For the rest, no objections if you want to edit the article. I just read it again and for me the flow works, with first paragraph being chronological appointments and the second one being chronological points of interest.

Very well, passing on the strength of the hook.
