Today morning, Burundians boarded buses to return home

At total of 1,084 Burundian refugees today early morning boarded buses in Rwanda and Tanzania to return home.

In Rwanda, 511 Burundian left the Mahama refugee camp in eastern Rwanda at 6am and a few hours later crossed back home via the Nemba border. This is the third batch of Burundian returnees in the past weeks.

Also today morning, 573 refugees left camp in Kigoma, Tanzania to return home.

Tanzania has given ultimatum to Burundian refugees to either leave voluntarily, or will be forced out in what government there says Burundian have made it a “habit to run away from their country even when there is no reason.”

At the same time in Kigoma, Tanzania, the refugees there also took buses home

Last week, Burundi’s new President Evariste Ndayishimiye was in Tanzania for a widely publicized state visit, the first foreign trip.

As for Rwanda and Burundi, since April 2015, the presidents of both countries have never met in the same room. It followed failed coup which Burundi openly accuses Rwanda of orchestrating.

Last month, the two opened direct talks at level of military intelligence chiefs. However, President Ndayishimiye has been more pointed in his attacks on Rwanda, accusing Kigali of “hypocrisy” and holding refugees “hostage”. Rwanda has been largely on the defensive.

As of mid 2020, according to UN agency UNHCR, Burundian refugees are as follows: Tanzania (164,873), DR Congo (103,690), Rwanda (72,007), Uganda (48,275), Kenya (13,800), Mozambique (7,800), Malawi (8,300), South Africa (9,200) and Zambia (6,000).

Meanwhile, today also, citizens of both countries stranded on either side due to COVID-19, were also exchanged. More than 80 Burundians crossed back home, as more than 50 Rwandans also returned via the same Nemba border.

These returnees were in either country for different reasons including business, medical care and pleasure before both countries closed their borders when the pandemic struck.

While Rwanda has opened the airspace but kept entire ground border closed, Burundi has yet to open both airspace and land.

    wish for to say on the topic of this post, in my view its actually amazing in support of me.

  3. This is the right blog for anybody who would like to understand this topic. You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a topic that has been written about for ages. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!

  4. Its like you learn my mind! You appear to know so much approximately this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.

    A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.

  5. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find
    this matter to be really something that I think I would
    never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  6. When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get

    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a
    hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
    LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  18. each time i used to read smaller posts that as well clear their motive, and
    that is also happening with this post which I am reading at this place.

  19. Hey there! I understand this is sort of off-topic but

    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior
    to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
    wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?

    Many thanks! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ozQZiX5EiBMe_vo7Ba4kxbDI96tPKPAK

  23. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  24. Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I
    guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

    I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the
    whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it.

  25. Link exchange is nothing else but it is just placing the other person’s blog link on your page
    at appropriate place and other person will also do same in support of you.
