Burundi has launched a search for its former prime minister Alain Guillaume Bunyoni, who authorities say they could not trace.

Interior Affairs Minister Martin Niteretse told a press conference in Bujumbura on Wednesday that Mr Bunyoni was being sought after, but he did not know the reasons behind the operation.
