Thirty-three Burundian soldiers accused of mutinying while serving in Somalia as peacekeepers have gone on trial. Prosecutor Lt-Col Jean-Claude Nzigamasabo said they are charged with refusing to obey orders in January 2009 in a protest over their salaries. <br/><br/>Prosecutors said the soldiers had armed themselves without authorisation, accusing officers of stealing their money. Burundi and Uganda are the only countries to have deployed troops to Somalia for the African Union mission. Burundi's army first deployed to Somalia at the end of 2007 and it now has three battalions in the war-torn country numbering more than 2,500 of the 5,000-strong African Union force.
