On The Line: Danny Gold Discusses Burundi’s Controversial Presidential Elections

VICE News correspondent Danny Gold joined On The Line to discuss the Burundi’s controversial presidential election. In April, Burundi’s incumbent president, Pierre Nkurunziza, announced plans to run for a third term in office — a move many claimed was unconstitutional. The political maneuver sparked violent clashes between Nkurunziza's supporters and those opposed to his third term, triggering a wave of government-sponsored repression and intimidation. Danny Gold traveled to Burundi for VICE News where he spoke to citizens on both sides of the political divide for “Burundi on the Brink.”
