President of the Democratic Republic of Congo Joseph Kabila, Linda Thomas Greenfield from USA, the Vice President of South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa will also be present in the meeting that will discuss on the issues of Burundi

The prime ministers from five countries that make up the East African Community (Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda and Burundi) had also met in Tanzania on Tuesday last week before the Presidents met to assess on how the situation in Burundi is. The Presidents today will assess the report compiled by the prime ministers and in this case President Nkurunziza will give further explanations on the issues going on in the country.

This is to remind the readers that the issues in Burundi including protests and demonstrations of citizens began in April and were caused by the President wanting to stand for the third term yet the Burundians are not in for his third term


More than 20 people have died in these protests and others injured while many others were imprisoned
