At least six people including a policeman were killed in gun battles on July 1 in the latest violence in Burundi, as it awaits results from elections boycotted by the opposition and condemned internationally. Clashes broke out in the capital’s Cibitoke district, an opposition area that has been one of the heartlands of protests against President Pierre Nkurunziza’s defiant bid for a third term.
