Burundi’s telecommunications agency blocked social networks on Wednesday after thousands protested the president’s plan to seek a third term in the country’s upcoming elections.

Social networks, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter and Viber had been made inaccessible for “security reasons,” according to the national telecommunications agency.
The decision comes after thousands of people have been staging protests across the country since Saturday, when the ruling CNDD-FDD party nominated President Pierre Nkurunziza as its candidate for the June 26 presidential election.
The opposition called the nomination unconstitutional, saying that it violated the 2000 Arusha peace agreement that eventually ended a 12-year civil war between Tutsis and Hutus in 2005 that left an estimated 300 000 people dead.
