What’s happening today in Burundi is reminiscent of what took place late last year in Burkina Faso, when long-time head of state Blaise Compaore was deposed by the military after declaring his intention to run for yet another term. 
Kiel kinacotokea leo Burundi ni mapaki ya kile kilichotokea mwishoni mwa mwaka jana nchini Burkina Faso, wakati mkuu wa nchi aliyetawala muda mrefu Blaise Compaore alipong'olewa madarakani na jeshi baada ya kutangaza dhamira yake ya kugombea tena kipindi kingine cha utawala.
