布隆迪正发生着一场深化危机，这就是我们周三CNN学生新闻的首条新闻，我是Carl Azuz，接下来让我们开始今天的新闻。

Burundi is a tiny nation in Central Africa. It`s a little smaller than the U.S. state of Maryland. Burundi`s population: about 10.4 million.

布隆迪是非洲中部的一个小国家，比美国的马里兰州还要小一些，人口大约有1040万人。

It has an election coming up in June, and President Pierre Nkurunziza is running for a controversial third term -- controversial because he served the two-term limit. But he wasn`t elected by the Burundian people for his first term. He was elected by parliament.

在六月份的时候布隆迪要准备选举，总统Nkurunziza想要寻求第三次连任引发了布隆迪人民的争议。但是他第一届任期并不是由布隆迪人民选出来的，而是被国会选出。

So, he argues he should be allowed to run again. A Burundian court agrees with him. Many protesters do not.

所以他坚称自己可以再次参加选举。一位布隆迪法官认为他可以这样做，但是很多抗议者不这样认为。

There was a recent military coup that failed. Because the nation came out of civil war as recently as 2003, many Burundians fear another one could be ahead.

最近布隆迪发生一次军事政变失败，因为布隆迪在2003年才走出内战，许多布隆迪人害怕再次发生战争。
