Burundi's outgoing Prime Minister welcomes his successor, Gervais Ndirakobuca
Burundi's President Evariste Ndayishimiye replaced his prime minister and a top aide in a high-level political purge Wednesday after warning of a "coup" plot against him.

Security minister Gervais Ndirakobuca was sworn in before parliament as the new premier, capping a day of high drama in the troubled central #African nation.

He succeeds Alain-Guillaume Bunyoni, who was sacked along with Ndayishimiye's civilian chief of staff General Gabriel Nizigama in the first major reshuffle at the top since the president took office a little over two years ago.

Lawmakers had approved the appointment of Ndirakobuca -- a former chief of Burundi's feared intelligence agency -- in a unanimous 113-0 vote at a hastily called parliamentary session earlier Wednesday.

Ndayishimiye, a 54-year-old former army general, gave no reasons for Bunyoni's dismissal, but last week he had warned of a coup plot against his regime.

Burundi is currently facing its worst political crisis since the end of its 12-year civil war, in 2005. Opposition supporters recently clashed with police, after Burundi's ruling party failed to win parliamentary approval for constitutional changes. VOA's Vincent Makori gets more insight from Frederic Nkundikije, of VOA's Central Africa Service.

In Burundi, campaigns for legislative and presidential election are ongoing in an atmosphere of tension. A political crisis triggered by President Pierre Nkurunziza’s bid for a third term remains unresolved. Efforts by the new United Nations facilitator of talks between rival factions have hit a snag. VOA's Edward Rwema reports from Bujumbura.

Burundi's government said, on Monday, efforts to collect illegal arms were proceeding peacefully. President Pierre Nkurunziza had set a Nov. 7 deadline for people to surrender illegal arms. The president said those who did not hand over arms would be treated as criminals. The latest violence came in an attack on a Bujumbura bar on Saturday that witnesses said killed nine people. For the latest on the situation, Apollinaire Niyirora, a Burundi journalist, joins VOA’s Vincent Makori live via phone from Bujumbura.

A Burundi army general says senior officers are "dismissing" President Pierre Nkurunziza, amid unrest over his bid to be re-elected for a third term. Maj Gen Godefroid Niyombareh announced that a national salvation committee had been set up to run the country.
However, it is not clear how much support he and the other officers have. President Nkurunziza is currently in Tanzania meeting other East African leaders to discuss the crisis. His aide dismissed the coup claims as "a joke".

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Cape Verdean Prime Minister Ulisses Correia e Silva on Monday on the first stop of his West Africa tour to discuss security challenges in the region. He praised the country as a “beacon of stability in the region.”

Cape Verde is a collection of 12 islands off the coast of North-west Africa. Here, foreigners outnumber locals, and 9 percent of the country's GDP comes from expatriates. Cape Verde has few natural resources, little arable land and is prone to drought - just some of the reasons why many residents are desperate to move to greener pastures.

Cape Verdean President José Maria Neves praised the way Angola has treated his country and is leading in the region
