Almost 40,000 flee Burundi amid political crisis - Yahoo News

Almost 40,000 flee Burundi amid political crisis - Yahoo News: "A total of 16 people were injured in protests held in different parts of the capital on Wednesday, the Burundi Red Cross said.

More than a week of demonstrations have plunged the African nation into its worst crisis since an ethnically charged civil war ended in 2005. Civil society groups say a dozen people have been killed. Police say the death toll is half that number.

The opposition says Burundi's constitution and a peace deal that ended the civil war limits Nkurunziza to two terms."
