Burundi declares republic after monarchy seizure
The Burundian monarchy was toppled Monday night as Premier Michombero, an army captain, seized Ntare V while the king was in Congo for Mobutu anniversary celebrations. Ntare V, formerly Charles Ndizeye, had been crowned September 1 with his father King Mwambutsa IV away for medical treatment in Switzerland. The regime cites puppet claims amid Watutsi Bahutu tensions and rising Chinese influence. Burundi borders the Congo, covers 10,747 square miles with about 3 million people and neighbors Rwanda.
