Burundi Foreign Minister: no reason to be afraid

Some people in Burundi are fleeing the capital ahead of a government deadline for civilians to give up illegal weapons or risk being dealt with as "enemies of the nation". President Pierre Nkurunziza was controversially re-elected for a third term in April and since then there have been dozens of unexplained killings of opposition activists in the capital, Bujumbura. Foreign Minister Alain Nyamitwe tells us civilians have nothing to fear.
