A top Burundian general on Wednesday announced that he has overthrown the administration of President Pierre Nkurunziza who travelled to Tanzania for EAC Summit.
The radio broadcast by General Godefroid Niyombare – came hours after President Nkurunziza arrived in neighbouring Tanzania for talks to end the crisis.
However, it is not clear how much support he and the other officers have – as President Nkurunziza’s aides have dismissed the coup claims as “a joke”.
Police fired tear gas and live ammunition on protesters in the capital, Bujumbura, on Wednesday.
