This has led to a military coup organized by Major General Godefroid Niyombareh, a former military intelligence officer who was removed from office by President Pierre Nkurunziza in February.
The sacked army general has today announced that he has overthrown the President who travelled to Tanzania for EAC Summit.
General Godefroid Niyombare, told reporters at a military barracks in the capital, Bujumbura, that he was working with civil society groups, religious leaders and politicians to form a transitional government.
