(SomaliNet) In a dramatic move, the Burundian government has decided to support Rwanda, following Rwandans termination of diplomatic ties with France.

A Burundian official told journalists shortly after meeting Rwandan President, Paul Kagame at Village Urugwiro yesterday, that Burundis backing was aimed at preserving security in the Great Lakes Region. I am here to assure the President (Kagame) of our governments support at this time when relations (between Rwanda and France) are not good, said Rajab Hussein, the Chairman of CNDD-FDD, the ruling party in Burundi.

The Burundian official said that despite the evidence of Frances complicity in the 1994 genocide, the world had remained indifferent. Rwanda has continued to produce evidence about France and other foreign countries involvement in the 1994 genocide but the world has always remained silent. We are prepared to support this government until justice prevails, Hussein said.

France is biased; justice cannot work on one side, he said, adding that Frances legal undertaking must first focus on her role in the massacre of Rwandans in 1994.
