Former Burundian prime minister arrested

The former prime minister of Burundi, Alain Guillaume, has been arrested, the country's justice ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

Alain Guillaume Bunyoni was prime minister from June 2020 to September 2022, when he was sacked after the president accused unnamed people of planning a coup against him.

"Alain Guillaume Bunyoni is currently in the hands of the police," said a statement signed by the General Prosecutor Sylvestre Nyandwi and shared by the justice ministry.
