Rwanda, Burundi relations thaw

01 Oct 2023  |  Rwanda Today  |  English  |  Diplomacy

Rwandan President Paul Kagame expressed optimism about the normalization of relations between Rwanda and Burundi, highlighting significant progress since 2015. The two countries have engaged in high-level meetings, leading to improved security and repatriation of refugees. Relations had soured due to accusations of involvement in a failed coup and harboring militants, but have improved notably since Burundian President Evariste Ndayihsimiye took office in 2020. Both nations have taken steps to strengthen peace and security, including the exchange of captured militants.

Burundi, Rwanda hold meetings to mend relations

15 Jan 2022  |  www.theeastafrican.co.ke  |  English  |  Trade

Burundi and Rwanda are taking steps to mend their strained relations, which have been tense since 2015 due to accusations from Burundi's former president Pierre Nkurunziza's regime against Rwanda. High-level meetings, including the visit of Burundi’s Minister Ezéchiel Nibigira to Rwanda and discussions at the UN General Assembly, signal a positive move towards normalizing relations. The closure of borders in 2015 severely impacted cross-border trade and livelihoods. Both countries are addressing issues such as the return of Burundian refugees and the ban on exiled Burundian journalists in Rwanda. Trade between the two countries has plummeted, with Rwanda's trade with Burundi dropping from $20 million annually to just $0.01 million in the third quarter of 2021. Local manufacturers, such as Urwibutso Entreprise, are closely monitoring the situation, hoping to re-enter the Burundi market.
