BUJUMBURA: Hundreds of students from a Burundi university shuttered by the government were seeking refuge outside the US embassy in the capital on Friday, amid unrest and escalating tensions ahead of the June 26 presidential vote.
The east African nation has been rocked by days of protests triggered by President Pierre Nkurunziza’s decision to seek a third term, a move opponents say violates the constitution and a peace deal that ended an ethnically charged civil war in 2005.
