Rwanda planning to attack Burundi, President Évariste Ndayishimiye tells BBC

Burundi's President Évariste Ndayishimiye claimed he has seen credible intelligence that Rwanda plans to attack Burundi, stating that Rwanda had previously attempted a coup in Burundi a decade ago.
Rwanda responded to Ndayishimiye's comments by calling them surprising and asserted that both nations are cooperating on security plans for their shared border, which has been closed for over a year.
Ndayishimiye emphasized the need for peace and dialogue, urging Rwanda to respect existing peace agreements, while accusing Rwanda of supporting rebel groups to destabilize Burundi.
He also mentioned that hundreds of thousands have fled violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with some risking their lives crossing into Burundi due to the ongoing conflict.
