Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza made his first public appearance in the capital Bujumbura yesterday. This is after his government experienced an attempted coup last week, which failed after many days of youths protesting. In his appearance President Nkurunziza sent a warning of a threat posed by Al-Shabaab, the Somali islamist group. Burundi has plunged into crisis after Mr Nkurunziza said he has seeking a third term of office. Critics said the move would be unconstitutional, and there have been almost daily protests since Mr Nkurunziza’s announcement, stirring memories of an ethnically driven civil war that ended a decade ago
