Burundi's President Évariste Ndayishimiye accused Rwanda of planning to destabilize Burundi by supporting a rebel group, reminiscent of the conflict in the DRC. Ndayishimiye warned against potential violence, stressing the readiness of Burundians to defend themselves. Despite these claims, he emphasized a preference for dialogue over armed conflict. Rwanda, in return, dismissed Ndayishimiye's accusations as surprising, asserting that there is no strategy to provoke conflict. The situation highlights long-term tensions between the two nations and the complexities involved in their diplomatic relations.
We don't have any plans to attack Rwanda. We want to resolve that problem by dialogue.
