It is about time that African leaders are told enough is enough. In fact, some of them are selfish and greedy and it servesim right if he is overthrown. Africans are not civilized and they are always imposing themselves on the people even if the people do like him. This man should not only be arrested he should be tried and executed for causing suffering among humanity.

Everyone knows this guy has killed 20 of his citizens and will soon plunge Burundi into another civil war. So why allow him to leave Tanzania?
And did i hear them condemning the coup?
He himself has conducted a coup already

After defeat in the UK elections last week, the leaders of the three main opposition parties threw in the towel and resigned. Did the decent thing. No fuss. No bloodshed.

Some African leaders act like goats....don't know when enough is enough! Campaore Blaisse did it and got booted out by the children of Burkina Faso. Now this goat is following the same footpath. Adu Boahen once wrote "Politicians learn history but they fail to learn from history." This man saw the action in Burkina Faso but will hang in till someone kicks him out....and it's happening before his eyes.

I've been following events unfold at world's renowned broadcasters/websites and there seem to to be some sort of discrepancies on your reportage/headline.He is trying to fly home and have effective left the meeting but would never be allowed to.He's not yet on Burundian soil thus the caption "flies home after coup attempt" is misplaced.So please correct the anomaly.

Why condemn the bloodless coup....although not what Africans expected but with the bastard leader off the scene it will pave the way for peaceful solution. We do not need coup in Africa but the presence of greedy leaders in our mist there will be room for coups. Why did it take so much time to convene the summit. Waited for 19 people to die...thousands of citizens to flee their homes to become refugees.

Get rid of them since one man cannot hold the country hostage. African countries must rise up and demand developments. Hopeless lot.
