Reuters: Burundi closer to civil war after flare-up - U.N. rights chief
Burundi has moved closer to civil war after insurgents attacked military camps in the capital last week and authorities responded with house searches, arrests and alleged summary executions, the U.N. human rights chief said on Tuesday.
Fighting in Bujumbura last week killed almost 90 people, the worst clashes since a military coup was foiled in May.
It follows months of sporadic violence and assassinations, mostly in the capital, between supporters and opponents of President Pierre Nkurunziza.
