The Mormon Church has removed missionaries from Burundi following violent protests in its capital.
The protesters are opposing the president’s decision to run for a third term, and police have been firing live bullets at the protesters.
The Burundi missionaries are part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Lubumbashi Mission.
A church spokesperson says moving missionaries to ensure their safety is a common practice throughout the world.
