Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza has made his first public appearance since an attempted coup last week failed to oust him and appeared to blame Islamist militants from Somalia for the unrest.
Tens of thousands of people have fled the African nation after weeks of rioting against the president's decision to stand for a third term, leaving at least 20 people dead.
The army general who led an attempt to overthrow Burundi's sitting president has been arrested, along with a number of others who helped in the failed coup.
Major General Godefroid Niyombare announced he had "sacked" President Pierre Nkurunziza while he was in Tanzania on Wednesday, following weeks of violent protests.
He went on the run after government forces seized back control of capital city Bujumbura, but was arrested this afternoon.
Nkurunziza has also returned to Bujumbura, and said those arrested would be answerable to the judiciary for their actions.
Meanwhile, 12 soldiers who had backed the coup were killed yesterday when they tried to force their way into the state radio station's headquarters, sparking a fierce gun battle and forcing the station off the airwaves for a short while.
Army Chief of Staff General Prime Niyongabo revealed 35 other "mutineers" were injured, and 40 surrendered.
Senior officials say Pierre Nkurunziza and his government are out after weeks of protests over claims he violated the constitution.
