Mourners waving white handkerchiefs, Kenneth Kaunda's trademark symbol, gathered at a Lusaka stadium on Friday for a state memorial service for Zambia's first president, who died last month aged 97.
In May, Burundi held a presidential election which was won by Evariste Ndayishimiye, candidate of the ruling National Council for the Defense of Democracy - Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD) party.
Ndayishimiye was hurriedly sworn in after the untimely death of president Pierre Nkurunziza in June.
Rights violations continue
The Council encouraged donor countries which had suspended aid to Burundi to continue dialogue towards resumption of development assistance.
A report by a UN watchdog in September said human rights violations were still being committed in Burundi, including sexual violence and murder.
The country was plunged into a crisis in April 2015 when Ndayishimiye’s predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza decided to run for a controversial third term, which he ultimately won in July 2015.
His candidature, which was opposed by the opposition and civil society groups, resulted in a wave of protests, violence and even a failed coup in May 2015.
Hundreds of people were killed and over 300,000 fled to neighboring countries.

The ability to deliver accurate public health information to large populations as well as the ability to counter misinformation--has only been made possible by mobile networks.
We rely just as much on mobile networks to allow us to track and trace the spread of the pandemic, and even the consultation process with medical professionals will rest on mobile phone communication.
In fact, Somalia is one of the most connected populations on the continent, and most of the population owns a mobile.
What international bodies who hope to tackle the pandemic have to recognize is how fundamental mobile connectivity will be in wider Africa's battle against the Coronavirus.
