Algeria celebrated 60 years of independence from France on Tuesday with nationwide ceremonies, a pardon of 14,000 prisoners and its first military parade in decades. The events mark the country’s official declaration of independence on July 5, 1962, after a brutal seven-year war that ended 132 years of colonial rule. Opposition figures and pro-democracy activists called the elaborate celebrations an effort to distract attention from Algeria's economic and political troubles by glorifying the army, and called for the release of political prisoners. For more analysis, FRANCE 24 is joined by Jihane Boudiaf, a Research Analyst whose work contributes to several Country Risk teams at S&P Global Market Intelligence, covering sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa and the Middle East. "This is not so much about the pro-democracy movement or the FLN," explains Ms. Boudiaf. "I think that Algeria is displaying here this impressive military arsenal which is an important message that it wants to communicate regionally and internationally in this more challenging geopolitical context."

Mar.04 -- Algeria’s president will run for re-election next month, but is pledging to cut the term short to calm public anger. Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Algiers over the weekend to demand he abandon seeking a fifth mandate. Bloomberg’s Riad Hamade reports on “Bloomberg Daybreak: Middle East.”

Huge crowds gathered outside the Algerian consulate in Montreal to protest the country’s ruling government and to stand in solidarity with people in the north African country amid what's being called the “Algerian Spring.”

Burkina Faso's military leader Ibrahim Traore says elections can only be held, once the security situation stabilises.
Thousands have gathered in the capital to celebrate the military government's first year in power, days after another coup attempt failed.
Burkina Faso has continued to struggle, increasingly isolated after the coup and with swaths of the country in the hands of local al-Qaeda and ISIL affiliates.

Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports.

The president of Burundi, Pierre Nkurunziza, has died at the age of 55, just weeks before he was due to step down from office.
A government statement says he had a heart attack, but there is speculation that he may have contracted coronavirus.
President Nkurunziza came to power in 2005 as part of a peace deal that ended a years-long civil war.

Al Jazeera’s Raheela Mahomed looks back at his life.

Burundi has closed its border with Rwanda, according to Burundi's Interior Minister, Martin Niteretse. It comes after President Evariste Ndayishimiye accused Rwanda of backing the Red Tabara, a group based in the restive eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Many families in the Burundian capital have moved across town to avoid being caught in clashes between armed youths and security forces as the political violence there enters its eighth month. But as VOA’s Mohammed Yusuf reports from Bujumbura, those who have fled say life is no easier.

Burundi’s current political upheaval began in April 2015, after current president Pierre Nkurunziza decided to run for a controversial third term defying the country’s constitution which limits the president to a maximum two terms. Esther Githui Ewart reports.

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.
