Burundi Protests and Third Term President?

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-32471667

Yesterday, 4/25/2015, President Pierre Nkurunziza launched his bid for a third presidential term and since then, protests have ensued and two people have died, many more have been injured and detained. Nkurunziza became president after the civil war in Burundi. People are protesting because of the term limits that were established to end the war, but some are arguing his third term would be legitimized because he was chosen by parliament. Many are scared that another war will break out, as protesters are being met with tear gas, water cannons, and live ammunition.
