Burundi coup bid: Groups seek Bujumbura control 부룬디 쿠데타 시도: 양측 다 기를 쓰고 수도 부줌부라  장악하려

The BBC's Maud Jullien says there is an "uneasy calm" in Bujumbura

Rival groups of soldiers in Burundi are vying for control of the capital Bujumbura amid confusion over the success of an attempted coup. 부룬디 군부내 적대적인 양측 세력은 기를 쓰고 수도 부줌부라를 장악하려 애쓰고 있다.

Fighting is reported at sites including the state TV building and airport. 국영TV방송국과 공항을 포함한 곳에서 전투가 벌어지고 있다고 한다.

A senior military source has told the BBC that soldiers loyal to President Pierre Nkurunziza are back in control of key parts of the city. Coup leaders insist they remain in charge. 군부 고위 소식통은 현 대통령을 지지하는 군인들이 재차 수도의 곳곳을 장악하고 있다고 비비시에 전했다. 쿠데타 지도자들은 그 반대라고 주장하고 있다.

The unrest began when Mr Nkurunziza announced he was seeking a third term. 현 대통령이 세번째 임기를 모색한다고 발표하면서 정국의 불안이 촉발되었다.

Opponents say the bid contravenes the constitution. 야권은 이런 시도는 위헌이라고 말한다.

What's behind the coup bid?

Timeline of events

The coup was announced by Maj Gen Godefroid Niyombare, a former intelligence chief and ally of the president, after Mr Nkurunziza - who came to power in 2005 - left for Tanzania on Wednesday. 2005년 권자에 오른 현 대통령 느쿠룬지자가 지난 수요일 탄자니아로 떠난 후, 전정보부장이며 현 대통령의 동맹세력인 고데프로이드 니옴바레 소장이 쿠데타를 선언했다.

"The masses vigorously and tenaciously reject President Nkurunziza's third-term mandate. President Pierre Nkurunziza has been relieved of his duties," he said in a radio broadcast. "대중들은 열렬히 그리고 집요하게 현 대통령의 세번째 임기 획책을 반대하고 있다. 그는 해임되었다."고 그는 라디어 방송에서 말했다.

Thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate the announcement, marching on the centre of Bujumbura alongside soldiers and two tanks. 수 천명의 사람들이 군인들과 탱크 2대가 도열해 있는 수도 중심부로 행진하며, 이 발표를 환영하며 길거리로 나섰다.

But heavy fighting was heard overnight, reportedly between troops loyal to the rival factions. 그러나 간밤에 양측 간에 격렬하게 교전하는 소리가 들렸다고 전해진다.

"We didn't sleep at night because of fear.... a lot of explosions and gunshots can be heard everywhere... and people are scared," one witness told the BBC. "우리는 무서워서 밤에 잠들 수가 없었다. 수 많은 폭발과 총격 소리가 여기 저기서 들렸고... 사람들은 무서워 떨었다."고 한 증인이 비비시에 전했다.

"But we still don't know the real situation here. We know that there is a fight but we still don't know what's going on."

Earlier, the army chief of staff - a supporter of the president - announced the coup "has been stopped" after he held talks with the defence minister, who backs the overthrow.

And President Nkurunziza tweeted on Thursday that the situation was under control and "constitutional order has been safeguarded".

One senior military source told BBC Afrique that troops loyal to the president had seized back full control of the presidential palace, the national radio and television station, the airport and the centre of Bujumbura.

But this has been contradicted by the coup leaders, one of whom said they were in control of "virtually the entire city" of Bujumbura.

"The soldiers who are being deployed are on our side," coup spokesman Venon Ndabaneze also told the AFP news agency.

The scenes of joy in the streets on Wednesday have been replaced by an uneasy silence, interrupted by sporadic gunfire. The streets of Bujumbura are deserted. It has been an anxious night.

People have their ears stuck to their radio sets, listening to the only two private broadcasters still running. one of the two was attacked overnight. The popular RPA - Radio Publique Africaine, which broadcast an interview with Gen Niyombare on Wednesday - was also targeted and had to shut down.

The usually vibrant private media play a key role in shaping opinion here, and President Nkurunziza's supporters have been targeting them since the beginning of the crisis.

A lot of the tension overnight was also concentrated around the national broadcaster, which is strategic because it is the only outlet still broadcasting outside the capital.

Wednesday's events unfolded after President Nkurunziza flew to the Tanzanian capital Dar es Salaam for a summit with other East African leaders to discuss the crisis.

He reportedly tried to fly back to Burundi upon learning of the coup, but had to return to Dar es Salaam after finding the airport at Bujumbura closed.

A senior Tanzanian presidential security official told the AFP that President Nkurunziza was at a secret location in Dar es Salaam. It is not clear if he is still there or has left again for Burundi.

The unrest began on 26 April and has led to the deaths of more than 20 people.

Tens of thousands of Burundians have fled to neighbouring states in recent weeks.

President Nkurunziza, 51, has rejected calls to postpone next month's election.

He argues that he is entitled to run for a third term because he was first appointed to the role by parliament in 2005, rather than being elected.

The constitution states a president can only be elected to two terms in office, but earlier this month the country's constitutional court upheld Mr Nkurunziza's interpretation.
