Burundi rejects U.N. police deployment after Security Council vote

Burundi said it would refuse to allow United Nations police onto its territory to monitor the security and human rights situation after the U.N. Security Council voted to send 228 officers. More than 450 people have been killed since President Pierre Nkurunziza won a third term last year, a move his opponents say violated the constitution and a peace deal that ended a civil war in 2005. Like Rwanda, Burundi has an ethnic Hutu majority and a Tutsi minority.
