the president claimed he is back in the country but has not been seen yet. for more on the developing story, we go to duncan woodside in the capital. we have seen things move quite quickly in the past 24 hours. what is the latest? duncan: i hope you can hear me because the line at my end is very bad. what i can tell you is that it is agreed by the willing party by the authorities here that major general godefroid niyombare is on the run, contrary to prior rumors that he had been arrested. it is rumored arrests were created because -- molly: my apologies for interrupting you, duncan. the report came out saying that the general had indeed been arrested.

duncan: yes, that is right. a very confused picture here. -- [at that point what he is reported to have told him is that he was surrounded by loyalist soldiers and that he had no option but to surrender and that he hopes he would not be killed. subsequent to that, you have tried him several times on his phone and he has not answered. authorities acknowledged that he is on the run. an interesting situation, and it indicates perhaps that the burundian army is not fully in control of the situation. what is also interesting is that the president has come back from tanzania. instead of coming straight to the capital, what he has done has gone to ben goes he instead in the country's heartland according to a source close to the president, carried on a

newswire earlier. it is quite unexpected. some people would suggest that it indicates perhaps that he is not fully confident in his authority. surely if you are a president returning from abroad in a context where a coup attempt has taken place, the first thing you would do would be to come back to the capital to show your power, to display that you are in control. that is creating rumors about how far the army remains united following the apparent putting down of the two. molly: let's talk a bit then about the situation on the ground there in the capital. of course, the coup attempt for the moment appears to have indeed failed, but we have heard from civil society groups that people that have pushed in rallies against the president's third term in office, are

calling for the people to take to the streets again, saying they had nothing to do with this coup so that it should be a separate event. what more can you tell us about the feeling there in the capital? duncan co.: that's right. civil society leaders urging people to take to the streets again to protest her that is a bold move in the contest -- in the context of this failed coup. there is a feeling here that the authorities will try to group -- the process together with civil society activists and legitimate opposition, effectively using the coup as an excuse to crack down on legitimate opponents. what we know is that my french correspondent who is currently on the ground has been looking around the capital, and in the area of moussaka, there are

people on the streets attempting to put up roadblocks. also what he has seen our police fire, and people trying to create new roadblocks. so the situation here is not fully under control, or at least in parts of the city. however, the army presence has dwindled. the last couple of days, there have been huge amounts of army on the streets. at one stage, rival factions were fighting heavily wednesday into thursday. the situation in terms of the military, there is not much of a visible presence on the streets but there are increasing numbers of police officers again. molly: duncan woodside, reporting from the capital of burundi. for clarification of the developing story there in central africa. now thousands of migrants remain stranded in southeast asian waters, facing persecution in burma and bangladesh, where
