Burundi President \u00c9variste Ndayishimiye has condemned rumours of a coup against him while he was away for two weeks for meetings in Cuba and at the UN General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n

Barely a week after the president left the country on 10 September, stories of a plot against him started circulating on social media.<\/p>\n

The source of the rumours is not clear yet.<\/p>\n

In his address after arriving back to the country on Sunday night, Mr Ndayishimiye blamed them on \u201cpeople who have always wanted to paint a bad image\u201d of Burundi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Burundi has experienced more than 10 successful and failed coups.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack in the day we went through it, but now our hearts are calm, sleep knowing well that you will wake up and go to your work,\u201d Mr Ndayishimiye said.<\/p>\n

On Sunday before his arrival, the country’s ministry of interior announced on X (formerly Twitter) that \u201cno house is burning\u201d, urging people not to care about \u201cthose rumours that distract\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
