| Bitterly divided Burundi heads for elections |
| 2015-07-20 |
| [Al Ahram] Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza appears set to win a controversial third consecutive term in elections on Tuesday, a hollow victory that will leave him ruling over a violently divided nation. The opposition and civil society groups have denounced his candidacy as unconstitutional and a violation of a peace deal that brought an end to a dozen years of civil war and ethnic massacres in 2006. And then it'll be all over but the shootin'. |
