Burundi Coup: Rival Soldiers Battle For Supremacy

By -


Rival groups of soldiers in Burundi are battling for control of the capital Bujumbura amid confusion over the success of an attempted coup.

There is heavy fighting at the state radio building, where broadcasts have been going on and off air.

Witnesses say soldiers loyal to President Pierre Nkurunziza controlled key areas, including the airport, while coup leaders insist that they remain in charge of the country.

The unrest began when Nkurunziza announced he was seeking a third term of office, a move that is at variance with the position of Burundi’s constitution.

Meanwhile, the African Union Peace And Security Council will convene an emergency meeting on Thursday to consider deliberating on the situation in Burundi.

Let me explain here. I definitely agree it can be a little sexy to say it, but it depends on the familiarity and the relationship you both have. But I also completely understand how many people can be made to feel like a used piece of crap, a prostitute, or it just being plain awkward if they get thanked every time they had sex with their partners. I can see it from both sides. But it just depends on the situation. Men also have the same issues to think about.
