Burundi’s President Evariste Ndayishimiye sacked his prime minister and a top aide in a high-level purge Wednesday after warning of a “coup” plot against him.

sacked his prime minister and a top aide in a high-level purge Wednesday after warning of a “coup” plot against him.

He sacked his prime minister Alain Guillaume Bunyoni and his cabinet chief General Gabriel Nizigama on a day of high drama in the troubled central African country. At a hastily called parliamentary session, lawmakers approved the appointment of security minister Gervais Ndirakobuca to replace Bunyoni as prime minister in a unanimous 113-0 vote, the national broadcaster RTNB said.

Bunyoni’s departure came after Ndayishimiye, who has been in power for just over two years, last week warned of a coup plot against him. “Do you think an army general can be threatened by saying they will make a coup? Who is that person? Whoever it is should come and, in the name of God, I will defeat him,” Ndayishimiye had warned at a meeting of government officials on Friday.
