Thousands of Burundians Saturday marched through the capital Bujumbura in protest against comments made by African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat after the collapse of the EAC Heads of State Summit after Burundi boycotted it.

In a December 1 statement, Faki expressed concerns on the Inter-Burundi dialogue stalemate and called on Bujumbura to “show the spirit of compromise the current situation demanded”.
