Belgium says those among about 500 Belgians in the country "whose presence
is notessential" should leave. The EU says it will evacuate temporarily its
employees’ "families andpart of the non-essential staff".
比利时表示，在布隆迪的500名比利时公民中，非必要人员应该马上撤离。欧盟表示会临时疏散工作人员的家属以及非必要人员。
The cycle of violence began with protests against President Pierre
Nkurunziza’s bid for a thirdterm. At least 240 people have been killed there
since the demonstrations began in April. Thereare fears of a Rwandan-style
genocide in Burundi, which also has a history of tensions betweenHutu and Tutsi
ethnic groups.
暴力循环源于对总统恩库伦齐扎宣布第三次竞选总统之位的反动示威。自4月的示威以来，至少已有240名民众被杀。由于胡图族和图西族两个族群一直关系紧张，人们担心，布隆迪将出现类似卢旺达的种族灭绝的危险。
UN resolution
联合国解决方案
In a statement on Friday, the Belgian foreign ministry said: "We advise
Belgians who arecurrently in Burundi and whose presence is not essential to
leave the country as soon asnormal measures allow."
周五，比利时外交部发表声明：“我们建议现在身处布隆迪非必要人员尽快撤离。”
Meanwhile, the EU ambassador to Burundi, Patrick Spirlet, told Reuters that
the "rising risk ofviolence" had prompted the EU mission in the capital
Bujumbura to reduce some staff.However, he stressed that "the delegation will
continue functioning normally".
同时，欧盟驻布隆迪大使，帕特里克斯皮尔莱特告诉路透社，“日益增长的暴力冲突可能性”使得欧盟特使团减少了在首都布琼布拉的人员，但是他强调到，“代表团的还会继续日常运行”。
These measures come a day after the UN Security Council unanimously adopted
a resolutionstrongly condemning the escalating violence. The French-drafted
resolution also paves theway for a possible deployment of blue-helmeted UN
peacekeepers. It requests that SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon reports within 15
days on options for increasing the UN presence in theimpoverished African
country.
联合国安理会所有理事国一致决议强烈谴责日益升级的暴力冲突，此后，这些措施逐步开展。法国提出的决议草案为部署“蓝盔”联合国维和人员提供了可能。该草案促请秘书长潘基文在15天内增加联合国在非的工作人员。
UN officials are considering a number of alternatives, including rushing in
peacekeepers currentlydeployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, says the
BBC’s Nick Bryant. But that wouldrequire another vote in the Security
Council.
BBC布莱恩特报道，联合国官员正在考虑多种可选方案，包括调入现部署于刚果民主共和国的维和人员。但是，这将需要安理会再次投票。
In April, Mr Nkurunziza argued that his first term as president did not
count towards theconstitutional two-term limit as he was chosen by MPs. Mr
Nkurunziza was duly re-elected with70% of the vote in July.
四月，皮埃尔·恩库伦齐扎争论到，他的第一次总统职位是由国会议员们选举出的，所以不算违反了宪法所规定的连任两届的限制。皮埃尔·恩库伦齐扎在7月份以70%的支持率当选总统。
