| There are currently more than 70,000 Burundian refugees in Rwanda, the UN says AFP |
Rwanda says it plans to
relocate Burundian refugees to other host countries, after being accused of
attempts to destabilize its neighbour.
BBC
Africa Live report continues:
Plans
for the relocation will start "immediately", the government says.
Rwanda
has been accused of arming and training refugees to fight against the current
Burundian government, charges it denies.
Burundi
has been hit by civil conflict since President Pierre Nkurunziza decided to
stand for a third term.
"For Rwanda, the
growing risks to our national security from the Burundian impasse and
misunderstandings in our foreign relations are unacceptable," a government statement said.
