    Default Burundi says No to AU

    Burundi’s president, Pierre Nkurunziza, has threatened to fight any African Union (AU) peacekeepers imposed on his country in his most confrontational comments yet amid a mounting political crisis.

    The AU said this month it was ready to send 5,000 peacekeepers to protect civilians caught up in months of violence, invoking for the first time powers to intervene in a member state against its will.

    Some background, mainly on the UN is on:http://www.theguardian.com/global-de...n-peacekeepers

    There is an old thread, now closed. Mass Atrocity Response Operations, that may provide some guidance on what may come next:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=10318
