Burundi Coup Attemp Has Failed

CNN: Burundi: Leaders of attempted coup arrested after President's return

(CNN)Burundian authorities said Friday they arrested the military generals behind an attempted coup shortly after the President returned to the landlocked central African nation.

The coup attempt, which was announced by one of the generals Wednesday but subsequently failed, came after deadly protests over President Pierre Nkurunziza's decision to seek a third term.

Those arrested will be charged with mutiny in a military court, said Willy Nyamitwe, a government spokesman.
