Burundi's President Évariste Ndayishimiye has dismissed Commerce Minister Capitoline Niyonizigiye.

She has been accused of "undermining government's aspirations and orientations...and for tarnishing the image of Burundi".

Iwacu news website tweeted a photo of the former minister:

Ms Niyonizigiye is the second minister of commerce to be sacked in less than a year.

Her predecessor, Immaculée Ndabaneze, was sacked in May after being accused of actions that could compromise the economy and tarnishing Burundi's image.
