Army General says he has overthrown president Pierre of Burundi

An Army general has announced that, he has overthrown the president Pierre Nkurunziza who travelled to Tanzania for EAC Summit.
Major General Godefroid Niyombare, who was fired by Nkurunziza as intelligence chief three months ago, told reporters at a military barracks in the capital, Bujumbura, that he was working with civil society groups, religious leaders and politicians to form a transitional government.

“Regarding President Nkurunziza’s arrogance and defiance of the international community, which advised him to respect the constitution and Arusha peace agreement, the committee for the establishment of the national concord decide President Nkurunziza is dismissed. His government is dismissed too,” he told Reuters
Niyombare’s claim, however, was swiftly dismissed as “a joke” by one of the president’s advisers.
