Uburundi bwatswe uburenganzira bwo gutunganya 'Rally' y'uno mwaka - BBC News Gahuza

The FIA has been accused of removing Burundi’s right to host an international “Rally” this August, according to BBC Gahuza, citing internal problems within the Burundi motorsport governing body and suspected misuse of funds linked to the event. BBC contacts with officials said the decision was tied to “shortcomings” in planning and irregularities in the handling of money earmarked for the competition. While the federation’s leaders didn’t respond before publication, they later discussed that FIA registration recognition was effectively revoked for the year. Supporters and local businesses that rely on the rally’s visitors are also seen as potentially affected.
