Burundi president overthrown: Top general
‘Amid escalating tensions in the African state of Burundi, a top general announces the overthrow of President Pierre Nkurunziza.
The announcement, which was made during a radio broadcast by Major General Godefroid Niyombare on Wednesday, followed weeks of violent protests against the head of state’s bid to stand for a third term.
It also came hours after Nkurunziza arrived in neighboring Tanzania for talks to end the crisis.’
