Burundi protests: The faces of the Burundian diaspora
The UK Burundian Diaspora (UKBD) has called on UK Prime Minister David Cameron to withdraw his financial assistance to Burundi's electoral process, as the group claimed President Pierre Nkurunziza's third term bid in elections due to take place in June is "unconstitutional".
IBTimes reporter Elsa Buchanan followed members of the UKBD as they marched in central London on Friday 15 May to protest against the ongoing violence in Burundi that has left 22 dead, as demonstrators accused the president of violating the constitution and the Arusha Peace Agreement, which says a president can only stay in power for two terms.
