    At least nine people, including seven rebels died in various places in southwestern Burundi during rebel attacks at the weekend, the Agence burundaise de presse (ABP) reported. Two civilians were killed and two others wounded on Friday night in Cabara, Rumonge commune, southwest Burundi. During the attack, the assailants also killed 24 cows and stole about 50 others. ABP said that during the attack, six rebels were killed during exchanges with the ‘Guardiens de la paix’ - former rebels now working with the army. Another rebel was killed in an attack in Kizuka zone, it added.
