The authorities in Burundi are searching for former prime minister Alain-Guillaume Bunyoni, seven months after he was dismissed in a high-level political purge. However, the reasons behind the search have not yet been clarified.
Once the country's police chief and security minister, Bunyoni was fired last September in the first major reshuffle at the top of Burundi's government since President Evariste Ndayishimiye took office in 2020.
