Boost for Burundi PM

BUJUMBURA - Burundi's Prime Minister, Sylvie Kinigi, won more backing from military officers yesterday, but aid workers gave chilling accounts of continuing post-coup massacres in the central African nation, Reuter reports.

Medecins Sans Frontieres said people were still being killed and its medical workers had seen whole villages burning. The UN said 700,000 people had fled from the country.
