intense battles in that country's capital between rival factions for control of the country. anchor: forces loyal to president p air -- pierre naftali bennet say they -- president pierre nkurunziza say they are now in control. >> gunfire rings out in burundi's capital. fighting is continuing between troops loyal to the president and soldiers who have turned against him. the president posted a message on twitter, claiming he was still in control. "i urge all burundians to remain calm in the face of these usurpers. the situation is under control and the constitution is safety or co but nobody knows where the president is. burundi has experienced weeks of violent protest since he

announced he would run for a third term in office. thousands took to the streets in jubilation on hearing the news he had been removed from power. east african leaders meeting in neighboring tanzania condemned the coup attempt. >> we condemn in the strongest terms possible be true -- the coup in burundi. it does not solve the problems. >> on the ground in baroody, the fighting continues. the united nations emergency meeting to discuss the crisis on thursday. anchor: a very confusing situation in burundi. let's cross over to our correspondent, who joins from neighboring rwanda. first off, do we know who is in control of the capital right now? >> there is no reliable

information. we do not know if the coup attempt was successful or not. there is no reliable source. both parties claim to be in power, but president nkurunziza just posted a new message on% twitter writing "i am congratulating the army and police, and congratulating the burundians for their patience." if it is true and they are back, it could give could regain power and maybe mobilize more soldiers. but we have to be careful. the airport was reportedly under rebel control and close. he may have left by car. the state broadcaster in the capital was the last station on air in burundi and became a key factor in the attempt. it is the only station that airs nationwide. if nkurunziza is back, he will

try to get full control of that building. i have the impression that for the moment it looks more like the coup attempt has failed. anchor: another sign it might have. nkurunziza, the president, has received important backing. the united states has come out in support of the president. does that mean the coup is now doomed to fail? >> if he is backing burundi support from the u.s. is a vote of confidence. we have also heard today that the ruling party is campaigning in some providences for the presidential election in june. they do that, despite the coup attempt. nkurunziza might get stronger with support from the u.s. but i do not believe that this u.s. backing has significant impact on the ground, such as soldiers switching sides. anchor: how deep are the

country's political divisions right now, in the wake of this violence? >> well, i think now the crucial point is how this situation will end. we will likely see fighting redirecting tonight if president nkurunziza is confirmed. he will attack the rebels, i am sure. as soon as that is clarified, if the coup attempt was successful we will see what is next. if it fails, we will have stronger antigovernment protest meaning more violence. if it is successful, i think the militia that is very active in the countryside will hunt for opposition members. anchor: an update on the latest from burundi. thank you very much. anchor: the world's two most populous nations want to do more cross-border business. chinese president xi jinping hosted indian prime minister narendra modi in his ancestral
