Burundi coup leaders arrested

Three army generals who were part of a group that attempted to overthrow
Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza a few days ago have been arrested. Former
Burundi Defence minister Gen Cyrille Ndayirukiye was one of the three arrested
today. But the general who led the coup and made the announcement on radio,
Gen Godefroid Niyombare (pictured left) has not been found.
The General had earlier told AFP News Agency on phone yesterday that he and
others who plotted the coup will surrender but hoped they will not be killed."I
hope they won't kill us". He said.
President Nkurunziza, who returned back to Burundi yesterday from Tanzania is
expected to make a national address later today. Obviously, he has more people
loyal to him in the army than the generals
