Bujumbura, Burundi---Burundi's opposition called Sunday on protesters to return to the streets after East African leaders meeting on the crisis stopped short of calling for President Pierre Nkurunziza to drop his controversial bid for a third term.
"We are disappointed because the summit said nothing on the question that we are concerned about. We did not descend on the streets to get the elections delayed by a month and a half," said one of the protest leaders Pacifique Nininahazwe.
"We are going to stage even bigger demonstrations than we have done so far in order to get Nkurunziza to leave office," he vowed.
