Burundi's president has sacked three cabinet ministers, as protests resumed after last week's failed coup.
The
president's spokesman denied that the dismissal of the defence,
external relations and trade ministers was linked to the coup attempt.
Soldiers
fired in the air to disperse protests against President Pierre
Nkurunziza running for a third term in elections due next month.
Mr Nkurunziza returned from Tanzania last week after the unrest.
The sacked MPs' replacements have already been appointed, including Emmanuel Ntahomvukiye as defence minister.
The BBC's Ruth Nesoba in Bujumbura says this will be the first time Burundi has a civilian in charge of the military.
