Burundian Troops Deployed in DRC Will Remain in Country Until Threats Are Eliminated: President
The security of the DRC is Burundi's security, and the eastern regions of this neighboring country constitute Burundi's forward line of defense, declared Évariste Ndayishimiye during his end-of-year review.
Burundian forces are operating in coordination with the Congolese army against armed groups threatening both countries, he emphasized, noting the RED-Tabara rebellion, which, according to him, uses South Kivu as a base to attack Burundi.
Deployed since 2023 at Kinshasa's request, the Burundian contingent is mainly positioned in South Kivu province. It recently participated in fighting against the M23, suffering losses.
