Burundi Army Imposes Calmness in Capital City

Burundi army imposed on Monday calmness in the capital city of Bujumbura days after the coup attempt. The army is in charge of internal security while the police are keeping a low profile in the capital city. Warning shots could be heard from Nyakabiga, one of the Bujumbura neighborhoods that had seen weeks of protests. Small groups of protesters who came out on Monday were nervous, with the soldiers keeping a close eye on them. Heavy gunfire could be heard in the capital overnight. But the imposed calmness seemed to be holding. Bujumbura's mayor Saidi Juma warned on Sunday on national TV that the government would continue to crack down on demonstrations and that demonstrators will be considered as part of the coup and security forces will treat them as such. President Pierre Nkurunziza made a rare public appearance at the weekend. In his address, he remained silent on the political crisis in the country. Instead, he focused on the threat of the Somali militant group Al-Shabab. Meanwhile, more African leaders had been calling for a delay in the proposed Burundi elections with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta being the latest. More on: http://newscontent.cctv.com/NewJsp/ne...
