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.

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

Cape Verde has become the third African nation to be declared malaria free, even as the disease continues to kill hundreds of thousands of people on the continent, the World Health Organization said Friday. The Atlantic archipelago of about 500,000 inhabitants follows Mauritius in 1973 and Algeria in 2019. Worldwide some 43 countries have been certified as malaria-free by the WHO, which requires showing that the domestic chain of transmission has been broken for at least three consecutive years. FRANCE 24's Sam Bradpiece reports.
