Burundi’s President – I will contest the country’s Presidential election next month

Burundi’s President, Mr. Pirre Nkrurnziza insisted that he would run for a controversial third term in elections set for June, defying International pressure to refrain from trying to extend his rule, despite deadly protests.
Reports said that over a dozen people have been killed and scores wounded since late April, when the ruling CNDDFDD nominated Mr. Nkrurnziza to stand for re-election, triggering daily protests.
The police has been accused of using live ammunition in clashes with protesters in the capital, Bujumbura.
Over thirty-five thousand Burundians have led the country in recent weeks mostly to Rwanda.
