Burundi's Nkurunziza sworn in, urges refugees who fled violence to return

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Pierre Nkurunziza was sworn in as Burundi's president on Thursday and urged tens of thousands of people who fled political violence, sparked by his disputed decision to run for a third term, to return home.

Nkurunziza also urged armed rebels who have vowed to use force to remove him from office, to end violence which has continued since he was declared the winner of July's vote.
