Today's The Guardian has a long report on the continuing violence, which has some odd twists:https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-knew-too-much

4 ways in which the Burundi crisis is far from over
A rare update on Burundi, by anonymous locals and sub-titled: 'The government is calling on its 380,000 refugees to return home, claiming the country is safe. Why does no-one believe them?'

During reprisal operations following the assault, at least one former soldier was killed by the security forces and 15-25 arrested.
