Paris, France--The head of Burundi's parliament on Sunday said he had left the nation due to the violence raging there and urged the president not to seek an "illegal" third term.

"For the moment, I am forced to stay in Brussels... I stayed here given the difficulties in my country, difficulties which are due to the illegal third mandate of the president of the republic," Pie Ntavyohanyuma told France 24 news channel in an interview from Brussels.
