U.N. Warns of Looming "Catastrophe" in Burundi 
-----------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations has warned the East African nation of Burundi is on
the verge of "catastrophe" amid fears of a potential genocide. The
violence erupted earlier this year when President Pierre Nkurunziza
announced what many say was an unconstitutional bid for a third term,
winning re-election in July. The ensuing violence has killed at least
240 people, and more than 200,000 have fled the country.
