clashes between Rwanda and Burundi over disputed border islands!

 On August 31, 2026, around 5:30 PM, on Lake Cohoha/Cyohoha along the Burundi-Rwanda border, Rwandan soldiers reportedly pursued children who were fishing, chasing them into the Burundian section of the lake. ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ผ➡️๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฎ The Burundian army reportedly retaliated, and an exchange of fire broke out, forcing the Rwandan soldiers to withdraw from the area. ๐Ÿ”ซ⚠️ ๐Ÿ️ RWANDA CLAIMS THE ISLANDS OF MAZANE AND KABURANTWA ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ผ Rwanda lays claim to Mazane and Kaburantwa, asserting that these two islands historically belonged to it prior to Belgian colonization. ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฎ Currently, they are under Burundian administration, and their inhabitants are Burundian nationals. ⚠️This territorial claim echoes debates regarding the Kivu region in the DRC ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฉ, as well as certain areas of Tanzania ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ฟ and Uganda ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ—territories sometimes portrayed as having once belonged to the Kingdom of Rwanda. ❓ Where does it end? How many more borders will be called into question? ⛽ Meanwhile, the Rwandan population is grappling with its own challenges, notably rising fuel prices. The price per liter has reportedly reached approximately 2 dollars—equivalent to over 4,700 Congolese Francs. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ผ Paul Kagame lies at the heart of the tensions shaking the region. ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฎ President ร‰variste Ndayishimiye is boosting troop morale; yesterday evening, he visited the site to pay tribute to soldiers from the FRAD (Reserve and Development Support Forces). ๐ŸŽ–️๐Ÿซก #bBurundi #Rwanda
