Soldiers have fired warning shots, as protests resumed in Burundi despite the return of President Pierre Nkurunziza after last week's failed coup.
According to reports by BBC, dozens of youths barricaded roads during the protests in parts of the capital.
They were chanting for President Nkurunziza to drop his plans to seek a third term in elections due next month.
On Sunday, Kenya's president called his Burundian counterpart, urging him to delay the elections.
Some businesses were closed and activities stopped in the Nyakabiga, Musaga and Mutakura neighbourhoods of Bujumbura.
However,reports claim that life carried on as normal in areas where the president is popular.
