21 people found dead after attacks in Burundi

Twenty-one people have been found shot dead in an area of Burundi’s capital Bujumbura, after the government said an unidentified group carried out co-ordinated attacks on three military installations elsewhere.

An eyewitness said they counted 21 bodies in the Nyakabiga area after Friday’s violence, which is linked to President Pierre Nkurunziza’s disputed third term in office.
