Political crisis in Burundi

Hundreds of university students storm the embassy grounds seeking refuge from a police advance after a 24 hour deadline to abandon the area expired earlier in the morning. The students moved to the area in early May because, they claim, the US authorities ensure their security, after their university was closed amid anti-government protests. The government closed the university at the end of April, citing “insecurity”.
