More than 80 people were killed Friday when armed attackers raided army facilities in the capital, Bujumbura. Among the dead were eight security officers and scores of assailants, according to an army spokesman.

军方发言人说，武装分子上星期五袭击首都布琼布拉的军用设施，造成 80多人死亡，其中包括八名安全部队军人和数十名袭击者。

The unrest began in April when the president announced he would seek a third term. Critics said he was violating the constitution's two-term limit as well as an agreement that ended Burundi's 12 - year civil war.

布隆迪局势动乱始于今年 4月，当时布隆迪总统宣布将寻求第三次连任。批评人士说，他这种做法违反了有关总统任期限于两届的宪法规定以及结束布隆迪 12年内战的协议。
