Death toll from day of clashes rises to nearly 90

Nearly 90 people were killed during Friday's clashes in the Burundian capital, the army said on Saturday, the worst outbreak of violence in Burundi since a failed coup in May.

Gunfire echoed around Bujumbura for most of Friday and residents said officials spent the day collecting bullet-riddled bodies from streets.

There was no fighting overnight and the capital's streets were calm on Saturday.
