'Rwanda planning to attack Burundi' - BBC Africa
Burundi's president has told the BBC he has seen "credible intelligence" that Rwanda plans to attack his country.
Évariste Ndayishimiye also said that Rwanda had tried to launch a coup a decade ago in Burundi, akin to "what it's doing in the Democratic Republic of Congo" now.
Rwanda has already hit back, calling the president's comments "surprising" and insisting that the two neighbours are co-operating on security plans for their shared border, which has been shut for over a year.
