BURUNDI BANS MOTORRBIKES IN SOME PARRTS OF BUJUMBURA

Burundi has banned the use of commercial motorbikes from the centre of the capital, Bujumbura, in a bid to end violence in the city.
Motorcycle taxis, a common form of transport in the city, are being used by criminals to carry out attacks, Bujumbura’s mayor Freddy Mbonimpa said.


One person was killed on Monday when men on motorbikes threw three grenades. Burundi plunged into crisis last April when President Pierre Nkurunziza announced his third-term bid.
His decision sparked street protests, a failed coup attempt and tit-for-tat killings have become part of daily lives in some parts of the capital.
