On Tuesday, police and demonstrators continued to clash in the streets of the capital, Bujumbura, over incumbent president Pierre Nkurunziza’s decision to run for office for a third consecutive term.
The month-long clashes — mainly in the streets of Bujumbura — , has killed almost 20 people so far, and regional powers now fear the unrest could escalate into an all-out civil war between the country’s two predominant ethnic groups, the Tutsis and Hutus.
Burundi’s main opposition party has also boycotted any peace talks, following the murder of one of its leaders on Saturday.
On Tuesday, it was still unclear if president Nkurunziza would attend Sunday’s summit in Ethiopia. Earlier this month, the country’s military attempted a coup while Nkurunziza was abroad.
But presidential spokesman Gervais Abayeho told that “Burundi will be represented” in Sunday’s meeting.
Burundi’s constitution states that a president can not hold office for more than two terms. Nkurunziza, however, claims his first term didn’t count, as he was elected by parliament, not by popular vote.
The country is still recovering from a bloody civil war that only ended in 2005.
So far, the latest bout of civil unrest has caused more that 100,000 Burundians to flee to neighbouring Rwanda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.相关的主题文章：
