Celebrations have broken out in Burundi's capital Bujumbura following an alleged coup against the government of President Pierre Nkurunziza.
The developments came after an army officer announced on Wednesday that Nkurunziza and his government had been dismissed hours after he left for neighbouring Tanzania for regional talks.
Major-General Godefroid Niyombare, who was fired by Nkurunziza as intelligence chief in February, made the announcement at a military barracks.
