DR Congo conflict: Burundi hit by fallout

Luanda announced its plan to get Kinshasa and the M23 militia leaders around a table in the Angolan capital in the near future not long after Congolese president Felix Tshisekedi met with his Angolan counterpart on Tuesday to discuss the regional implications of the conflict. More than 7000 people have died in the M23’s offensive this year, and neighbouring countries, including Burundi, have been hit by fallout from the tensions. Burundi’s also been hit by the biggest influx of refugees it has seen in decades. More than 63,000 have crossed over, and its aid setup is struggling to cope.
