THE army chief in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Faustin Munene threatened on Monday night to “attack Bujumbura”, the capital of Burundi, in reprisal for Burundi’s alleged active support for rebels in the eastern DRC. Munene blasted what he called the “military involvement of the Burundian army” alongside rebels who took up arms against the regime of President Laurent-Desire Kabila early last August. Kinshasa claims the Tutsi-led rebels are backed by Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda.
