Families are fleeing their homes in Burundi's capital over fears the government will unleash a fresh wave of bloodletting as part of a crackdown to stamp out resistance to the president.
Fearing a fresh escalation of bloodshed, people on Sunday started leaving parts of Bujumbura that have seen the worst recent violence.
Burundi has been engulfed in violence, prompted by President Pierre Nkurunziza's successful bid to win a third term in office, with bodies found dumped in the streets on a nearly daily basis.
At least 200 people have died in the latest turmoil and 200,000 have fled the country, stoking fears violence gripping the central African country could spin into mass bloodletting and even genocide.
The UN Security Council is expected to meet on Monday to discuss the crisis.
But the government has dismissed concerns, saying it wanted only to crush "terrorism".
