#Failed coup attempt...Burundi President Fires 3 Ministers After Failed Coup


Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza, has announced a partial cabinet reshuffle in addition to firing the ministers of Defence, foreign affairs and trade, replacing them with trusted figures after a failed coup attempt on May 13 by the military. 


The decision was made public a few hours after thousands of people took to the streets of the capital of Burundi, in a new set of protests against Nkurunziza's intention to seek an unconstitutional third presidential term, sparked after five days of relative calm in the African country.
