Burundi: Vice-president dismissed

Burundi's President Domitien Ndayizeye has sacked his deputy, Alphonse-Marie Kadege, a day after he voiced concerns on a referendum on the constitution. Mr Kadege had said he doubted the referendum would be held this month as scheduled, due to delays. Mr Kadege, a Tutsi, has repeatedly said the draft constitution gives too much power to the country's Hutu majority.
