Burundi close to major crisis, warns UNICEF
Burundi is on the brink of a "major crisis" because of political violence and malnutrition, according to the UNICEF (United Nations Children's Emergency Fund). It has witnessed protests and a failed military coup since President Pierre Nkurunziza was nominated for a third term last year. Burundi has been ranked the hungriest country in the world on the global hunger index.
