NO TRUTH WHATSOEVER IN BURUNDIAN PRESIDENT'S ALLEGATION REFERRING TO RWANDA
Kigali, 29 December 2023
The Government of Rwanda rejects comments by H.E. Évariste Ndayishimiye, President of the Republic of Burundi, alleging Rwandan support for Burundian armed rebel groups based in Eastern DRC. Rwanda is not associated, in any way, with any Burundian armed group.
It should be recalled that, in the spirit of mutual cooperation, the Government of Rwanda has previously handed over, through the Expanded Joint Verification Mechanism, Burundian combatants who illegally crossed into Rwanda.
The Government of Rwanda urges the Government of Burundi to address their concerns through diplomatic channels where they can be resolved amicably.
