At least 90 people have
been killed in clashes in
Burundi’s capital,
Bujumbura in one of the
worst outbreak of violence
in the African nation.

Scores of bodies are
reportedly still lying in the
streets with some of their
hands tied behind their backs
on Sunday.
At least four police officers
and four troops were among
those killed in the violence,
which rocked the capital on
Friday. About 45 people were
arrested.

The Army said that the clash
was the worst outbreak of
violence in Burundi since a
failed coup in May.
Army spokesman, Gaspard
Baratuza, said that gunmen
had attacked three military
sites in Bujumbura on Friday,
igniting a day of clashes
across the city.
He said that 79 attackers
were killed and 45 others
captured.

Unrest in Burundi, which
started in April when
President Pierre Nkurunziza,
announced plans for a third
term in office, has unnerved
a region still volatile two
decades after the genocide in
neighbouring Rwanda.
Friday’s clashes were
condemned by the United
States, which like other
western powers fears the
Central African nation could
slide back into ethnic conflict.
More than 220,000 people
have fled the violence to
neighbouring Rwanda,
Tanzania, Uganda and
Congo.

Another civil war looming? I hope not.

Another civil war looming? I hope not.

Exactly right. In many cases it starts with a fool twisting the constitution.
When military coups fail, and sporadic clashes lead to nowhere, a full scale civil war erupts.
