Former colonial power Belgium has halted some aid to the government of Burundi in protest at President Pierre Nkurunziza's disputed third term as leader of the central African country.
Separately, the European Union imposed travel bans and asset freezes agreed earlier this week on four officials close to Mr Nkurunziza who are accused of using excessive force during clashes in the run-up to his re-election in July.
Under agreements that ended a civil war in 2005, presidents were limited to two terms in Burundi, an ethnically divided country of just over 10 million people that has suffered months of violence and unrest since Mr Nkurunziza said he would run again.
Belgium, from which Burundi gained independence in 1962, said it was immediately halting aid programmes benefiting the government, including its support for the justice system.
It said it would switch these funds to other programmes to help Burundians, for example via aid groups. Belgium will continue to finance health care initiatives.
