Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza is said to have returned to the country, following an attempted coup.

Earlier there were fierce clashes in the capital, Bujumbura, particularly at the state radio office, but they are now said to have subsided. Five soldiers are reported killed.

Protests began in Burundi on 26 April when Mr Nkurunziza announced he was seeking a third term, a move his opponents said was unconstitutional.

Maud Jullien reports from the capital, Bujumbura.

This is the road Jonathan ensured we didn't travel.
Any attempt to abuse or seize power in today's Nigeria will only result in a polarized Army and civil war of much sophisticated nature.

Africans, not Africa are the problems facing Africa.

Meaning of POLITICS

In the WEST: Serve your people, Serve your Country

In AFRICA: Serve your pocket, Serve your Family
