Burundi's president, Pierre Nkurunziza, has begun a purge of his cabinet following last week's thwarted coup attempt, while protesters have been warned that they will be treated as accomplices of the rebel generals who staged it.
Apparently strengthened by recent events, Nkurunziza's office announced on Monday that the defence minister, Pontian Gaciyubwenge, had been sacked and replaced by Emmanuel Ntahonvukiye, a lawyer who becomes the first civilian defence chief in 50 years. The foreign minister, Laurent Kavakure, has been replaced by Alain Aimé Nyamitwe, a former ambassador to the African Union; while the trade minister, Virginia Ciza, was replaced by Irina Inantore.
