Police opened fire on protesters in Burundi where the president, Pierre Nkurunziza, is defying international pressure to end his bid for a third term.
One protester died in the clashes with police in the capital, Bujumbura, and two others were reported killed overnight in a grenade explosion. In two weeks of anti-government demonstrations, more than 20 people have been killed.
Leaders of the five-nation East African Community – made up of Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda as well as Burundi – are due to hold an emergency meeting in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Wednesday.
