Rwandan President Paul
Kagame has accused Burundi's leaders of carrying out "massacres" on
their people in his most critical speech yet of the crisis in the troubled
neighbouring state. "People
die every day, corpses litter the streets... How can the leaders allow their
population to be massacred from morning to night?" Kagame said, speaking
in Kinyarwanda on Friday, in a speech heard by AFP on Sunday.
Relations
between Rwanda and Burundi are tense, with Bujumbura accusing Kigali of backing
those who oppose President Pierre Nkurunziza's controversial third term.
