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.
Burundi's president Pierre Nkurunziza has said his country is at peace and all borders are open, in a radio address to the nation.
It follows a failed attempt to overthrow him by the army general who has since been arrested, along with a number of others who helped him.
Mr Nkurunziza said "there is peace in the whole country, including in the capital city where the coup-makers were operating".
He added that those who want to use violence "will never succeed" and called for an "immediate stop to protests" and dialogue to resolve disagreements.
Protesters opposed to the president's decision to stand for a third term have pledged to go back to the streets, setting the stage for more clashes.
Senior officials say Pierre Nkurunziza and his government are out after weeks of protests over claims he violated the constitution.
