Political crisis in Burundi

Supporters of Burundi's ruling party CNDD-FDD (National Council for the Defence of Democracy - Forces for the Defence of Democracy) attend a rally in Rubiza. Burundi's ruling party said on June 23 it had boycotted the restart of UN-led talks hoped to broker peace between rival parties following weeks of violence and ahead of elections on June 29. The troubled central African nation has been in crisis since late April over President Pierre Nkurunziza's controversial bid to stand for a third consecutive five-year term.
