Gunfire rocked a district of Burundi’s capital, Bujumbura, as President Pierre Nkurunziza said most of the country was secure and urged those protesting his bid for a third term to join political campaigns instead.
Members of the police entered the Musaga area late Wednesday to recover two cars abandoned by officers and began firing live ammunition, opposition campaigner Charles Niyungeko said by phone. Gunshots were still heard Thursday morning as protests resumed in the city.
