Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza will not back down on his bid for a third term in office, despite three days of protests. At least five people have died in clashes with police since Sunday when the ruling CNDD-FDD chose him as its candidate for June’s presidential elections. Burundi’s opposition has yet to throw their support behind the protests but they say another term for Nkurunziza would violate the constitution. The Senate has called on the constitutional court to rule on the issue. Some 25,000 Burundians have fled to neighbouring Rwanda, seeking refuge.
