BUJUMBURA (Reuters) - Burundi police fired tear gas and water cannon at protesters on Monday in the second day of demonstrations against President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for a third term in office, a Reuters witness said.
Activists said at least five people were killed in protests on Sunday, a day after Nkurunziza said he would seek another five-year term. Opponents say the move violates the constitution that sets a two-term limit. Supporters say his first term does not count as he was picked by lawmakers not elected.
