In Burundi, the constitutional court has ruled President Pierre Nkurunziza can run for a third term, as deadly protests against his bid continue into their second week. Secretary of State John Kerry has called the re-election bid unconstitutional. Burundi’s constitution allows presidents to serve only two terms, but Nkurunziza was appointed to his first term by Parliament. The court’s decision to allow his re-election bid comes after the vice president of the court fled the country, telling Agence France-Presse a majority of the court believed the bid was unconstitutional, but the judges had faced “enormous pressure and even death threats” to side with the president. Police reportedly shot four protesters dead on Monday, bringing the death toll to at least 13.
