Burundi coup bid: President's forces 'control Bujumbura'

Soldiers loyal to Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza say they are now in control of key locations in the capital, a day after an attempted coup.
There were fierce clashes in Bujumbura, particularly at the state radio office, but they are now said to have subsided. Five soldiers are reported killed.
Mr Nkurunziza had been in Tanzania when the coup began on Wednesday and his whereabouts remain unconfirmed.
There has been no new statement from the general who announced the coup.
Protests began in Burundi on 26 April when Mr Nkurunziza said he was seeking a third term, a move his opponents said was unconstitutional.

The coup was launched by Maj Gen Godefroid Niyombare, a former ally of the president, on Wednesday after Mr Nkurunziza travelled to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city, to attend a summit on the crisis.
