Burundi Police Shot Soldier Dead During Protest


A soldier in Burundi has been shot dead by a policeman during a demonstration in the capital, Bujumbura.

A witness told the newsmen that the soldier was hit by accident after police starting shooting at demonstrators.

Protests against President Pierre Nkurunziza's third-term bid have continued despite a ban.

There have been weeks of tension in Burundi after Mr Nkurunziza said he would be a candidate in June's election.

The shooting happened in the Nyakabiga district of Bujumbura. Police eventually withdrew from parts of the neighbourhood leaving the army to restore order, the BBC's Andrew Harding reports from the city.

There has not been an easy relationship between the army and the police, with the police resenting the army's tolerant attitude towards the protests, our correspondent says.

Last week, there was a failed coup against Mr Nkurunziza - senior officials from both the army and police have been arrested and accused of involvement.
