International action needed to stop Burundi catastrophe: Egeland - Yahoo News

International action needed to stop Burundi catastrophe: Egeland - Yahoo News: "GENEVA (Reuters) - International action is needed to avoid a catastrophe in Burundi, Jan Egeland, the head of the Norwegian Refugee Council and the former top humanitarian official for the United Nations, said on Wednesday.

More than a week of demonstrations against the Burundi president's decision to stand for a third term have plunged the African nation into its worst crisis since an ethnically charged civil war ended in 2005.

"All lights are blinking in Burundi. All alarms are going. So where's the fire brigade," Egeland told a news conference in Geneva."
