Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Rwandan government has refuted accusations from Burundi linking it to involvement in the grenade attacks that occurred in Bujumbura on Friday, May 10.<\/p>\n

BURUNDI SHOULD NOT ASSOCIATE RWANDA WITH ITS INTERNAL PROBLEMS.<\/p>\n

The attacks, which reportedly injured close to forty people, took place during the evening hours near a bus park.<\/p>\n

After the incident, Burundian Police and the country\u2019s interior ministry came out to accuse the Rwandan government of complicity in the attacks, suggesting collaboration with Red Tabara, a rebel group long accused by Burundi of receiving support from Rwanda.<\/p>\n

“Thirty-eight people were injured, five of them seriously,” the ministry’s spokesman Pierre Nkurikiye told reporters.<\/p>\n

“There were no deaths,” he added, as quoted by AFP.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Sunday, May 12, the Office of the Government Spokesperson firmly rejected the claims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is something clearly wrong going on with Burundi for its government to accuse Rwanda for recent grenade explosions in Bujumbura, a situation we have absolutely no connection with, and have no reason to be involved in,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

\u201cBurundi has a problem with Rwanda, but we have no problem with Burundi. We call on Burundi to solve its own internal problems and not associate Rwanda with such despicable matters,\u201d it further read.<\/p>\n
