    The government has announced that it will reopen the country's university in Bujumbura, after a one-month closure, the Rwanda News Agency reported yesterday (Wednesday).

    Citing official sources in Bujumbura, it said the closure was prompted by a student protest in demand of better accommodation, security and transport. Burundi University Chancellor
    Gilbert Midende was quoted as saying issues such as campus security and improved accommodation had been addressed. Registration is due to start today.
