Political Unrest Plunges Burundi Into Crisis

BUJUMBURA, BURUNDI - JUNE 20: A contestant cools himself following a government organized "transport bicycle race" in the capital city on June 20, 2015 in Bujumbura, Burundi. The race, which was a government attempt to bring a sense of normality to the beleaguered city, featured over 100 contestants on their working day bicycles racing along an 18 kilometer loop. The head of Burundi's influential rights group, Aprodeh, says at least 70 people, mostly civilians, have been killed and hundreds of others wounded following weeks of political unrest in the small, impoverished country in the African Great Lakes region of East Africa. The violence started after President Pierre Nkurunziza announced his controversial bid for a third consecutive five-year term in office. The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has said the violence in Burundi has forced more than 100,000 people to flee to neighbouring countries.
