Around 135 people have been killed during six days of fighting in the Burundi capital Bujumbura between Hutu rebels and Government forces, according to a toll published by the Interior Ministry. The Ministry says the victims of the fighting were rebels and civilians. The fighting broke out before dawn on Monday as the rebel National Liberation Forces (FNL) attacked southern areas of the capital. Although the army has not said how many Government soldiers have died in the fighting, military officials have estimated the number of dead in the armed forces at between 20 and 30, with several dozen injured.
