Tens of thousands refugees fled Burundi ahead of parliamentary elections this past week. Pres. Nkurunziza, who has been in office since 2005, is now seeking a third term in a July 15 election but had been warned that it would be widely viewed as unconstitutional. Nearly 144,000 have fled to neighboring countries since political turmoil began in April.
