Description A group of soldiers "mutinied" and Major General Godefroid Niyombare publicly declared a coup d'etat, but President Nkurunziza claimed the government still had control and that loyalists within the military "fought off rival soldiers". After the coup declaration, police withdrew from the streets and protesters celebrated freely. A total of 12 mutineers were killed and 30 injured in the fighting over two days.
