Rival bands of soldiers have clashed in the center in the capital of Burundi, where an attempt has been made to overthrow1 the president Pierre Nkurunziza.

The upsurging violence followed talks between the army chief of staff, who're the supporters of the president and the defense2 minister who backs the coup3. Mort Julian reports from Bujunbura.

双方敌对士兵在布隆迪首都交火,试图推翻首相皮诶尔·恩库伦齐扎的统治。继支持总统统治的军队首领和支持政变的首领谈话之后,这场交火愈演愈烈。下面是莫特·朱莉文从现场发回的报道:

"There's been heavy exchange gunfire in the city during most of the night. Clashes have been taking place over the control of the national television. Early this morning the army chief of staff announced the coup attempted by General N, former head of intelligence in Burundi, had failed. We understand that this followed the night of negotiations4 between the chief of staff and defense minister who supports the coup. So now what many have been fearing is confirmed, the army is divided in fighting in the streets of the capital Bujunbura."

这场激烈的交战几乎持续了整夜。国家电视台报道了这次交战。今天清早,军队的高级长官宣告布隆迪情报局前任局长,恩布莱将军的政变失败。我们明白,军队首领和支持政变的国防部长的整夜协商导致了这次失败。所以我们所担忧的已成为事实,大街上军队在交火时已分裂。
