Bujumbura, Burundi--Around 200 students broke into the US embassy in Burundi on Thursday seeking refuge after police threatened to break up their camp outside the compound, AFP witnesses said.

Armed US marines watched from the embassy roof as students climbed under the gate and over the wall before sitting inside the compound with their hands raised after abandoning their camp, established outside the complex in late April.
