Unknown gunmen have killed at least 20 people in western Burundi, near the country's border with DRC


Unidentified gunmen killed at least 20 people and wounded nine others in a village near Burundi's western border with the Democratic Republic of Congo, the government said on Saturday.

Nine households were targeted by the attackers, he said.


Burundi's President Evariste Ndayishimiye condemned the attack and extended condolences to the families of the victims.

Red Tabara, a Burundi rebel group based in eastern Congo, claimed responsibility for the attack.


The rebel group, which has been battling Burundi's government since 2015, claimed it killed nine soldiers and one police officer.
