The results of Thursday's referendum in Burundi which could allow President Pierre Nkurunziza to stay in office for 17 more years are due later today.
They are expected to show a big majority in favour of the constitutional change after voters were asked to accept or reject a proposal that would allow the president to stand for two seven-year terms.
