Police vanish from streets during Burundi coup

Police have vanished from the streets of Burundi’s capital as thousands of people celebrated a coup attempt against President Pierre Nkurunziza.

During three weeks of unrest, the military has been acting as buffer between police and protesters who oppose Mr Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term, saying it violates the Constitution and Arusha peace accords that ended a civil war here.
