**Thirty-three Burundian soldiers accused of mutinying while serving in Somalia as peacekeepers have gone on trial.**They are charged with refusing to obey orders in January 2009 in a protest over their salaries.
Prosecutors said the soldiers had armed themselves without authorisation, accusing officers of stealing their money, AFP news agency reports.
Burundi and Uganda are the only countries to have deployed troops to Somalia for the African Union mission.
Along with the weak interim government, the peacekeepers only hold a few key areas of Mogadishu and face almost daily attacks from insurgents.
