<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza on Sunday made his first official appearance since an attempted coup, appearing relaxed and assertive of his full control of the central African nation.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dressed in a blue blazer and polo shirt, the president smiled and shook hands with reporters at the presidency in Bujumbura's city centre, and gave only a brief statement without even mentioning this week’s attempt to overthrow him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nkurunziza has been facing weeks of violent and deadly street protests over his controversial bid to stand for a third consecutive term on office, and on Wednesday top generals announced they were overthrowing him while he was on a visit to neighbouring Tanzania.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But on Friday, having failed to capture the state broadcaster after fierce fighting with loyalist troops, the coup leaders admitted defeat and were detained or have gone on the run, allowing Nkurunziza’s motorcade to roll back into the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nkurunziza spoke only about reported threats from Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab militants, who have warned of attacks against Burundi and other states that contribute troops to the African Union force in Somalia.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We have taken measures against Al-Shebab. We take this threat seriously,” the president said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Bujumbura was calm on Sunday, although civil society and opposition activists have vowed to resume street protests on Monday. Weeks of protests have already left at least 20 people dead, many of them shot by police dispersing the demonstrations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"There is a truce so we can bury our dead", said Pacifique Nininahazwe, one of the leaders of the campaign to stop the president from standing for a third term. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The protests will start again on Monday morning."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>No fewer than 100 protesters took to the streets of Bujumbura on Saturday against Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza’s decision to seek a third term, a day after he returned to the capital following a failed coup.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The East African nation was plunged into deep crisis after Nkurunziza announced that he was running for another five-year term, with clashes between police and protesters stirring memories of an ethnically-driven civil war that ended just a decade ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the protesters, Nduwimana Belamie, told <i>Reuters</i> that "a lot of us citizens do not want the constitution to be violated, as the current president is not allowed to lead for a third term.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We will demonstrate until he steps down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Nkurunziza's decision violates the constitution and the Arusha deal to end the war that pitted rebel groups of the majority Hutu population, including one led by Nkurunziza, against the army which was then commanded by minority Tutsis."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, that country's army was now mixed and had absorbed rival factions, but the coup attempt exposed divisions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The fate of General Godefroid Niyombare, who had announced the president's ouster on Wednesday, was still not clear on Saturday, after loyalist troops calmed the streets of the capital on Friday following clashes between the two factions on Thursday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A <i>Reuters</i> photographer saw the army clearing barricades set up by protesters in some areas of the capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Residents of Bujumbura said they were planning to come out in large numbers on Monday to protest against Nkurunziza's decision to seek a third term. </div>
