STORYLINE
Police vanished from the streets of Burundi's capital on Wednesday as thousands of people celebrated a coup attempt against President Pierre Nkurunziza, who was in a neighbouring country for a conference.
During almost three weeks of unrest in which 15 people were killed, the military has been acting as buffer between police and protesters who oppose Nkurunziza's bid for a third term, saying it violates the Constitution and Arusha peace accords that ended a civil war here.
Major General Godefroid Niyombare read a statement on a private radio station on Wednesday that Nkurunziza's mandate was over.
However, whether the general had the support of the military was unclear.
The general announced the creation of a temporary ruling committee to re-establish stability of which he is the president.
Soon after, the police melted away and people thronged the streets in celebration.
Nkurunziza is in the neighbouring country of Tanzania for a summit to end the unrest.
