Rival military groups have been battling for control of the Burundi capital, a day after a former intelligence chief staged an attempted coup against President Pierre Nkurunziza.
Heavy gunfire rang out from the direction of the ruling CNDD-FDD party
headquarters in Bujumbura, which witnesses said were being guarded by
police. It was difficult to determine who was in control of the capital,
with periods of relative calm broken by bouts of gunfire in the
evening.
