In recent weeks, relations between Rwanda and Burundi have soured, with Burundian President Evariste Ndayishimiye accusing Rwanda of supporting and training rebels from the RED-Tabara group. The Burundian authorities label RED-Tabara as a terrorist organization and accuse its members of involvement in a failed coup in 2015. President Ndayishimiye’s recent remarks, made during a youth conference in Kinshasa, have escalated tensions, prompting Rwanda to denounce the comments as “inflammatory” and a violation of the African Union’s charter. Burundi has responded by closing border crossings with Rwanda and expelling Rwandan citizens, citing alleged support for RED-Tabara. The rebel group, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, claimed responsibility for an attack in Burundi last month, leading to increased hostilities between the two nations.
