Tshisekedi, Burundi’s Ndayishimiye, Ink Deal To Crash Rebels & Build Railway Line

1 Mins read

East African neighbours Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo have announced a joint plan to combat armed groups and foster economic growth.

The presidents of both nations signed a series of agreements in Kinshasa on security and also infrastructure – with plans for a railway to connect the nation’s major cities and boost trade.

No cost and deadline were made public today for the projects – but a joint commission of experts who will oversee its progress was announced.

Tuesday’s visit to Kinshasa was the first made by Burundi’s President Évariste Ndayishimiye since he took power a year ago, following the sudden death of his predecessor Pierre Nkurunziza.
