The leader of Burundi told Rwanda he would fight back if they caused trouble. He spoke near the border between the two countries and called Rwanda a "bad neighbor." He wants his people to be ready in case anything happens.
Burundi sent soldiers to help their friends in Congo because bad people called Red Tabara kept attacking Burundi. These bad people hide in Congo, and Burundi thinks Rwanda helps them. Another group of fighters called M23 wants to take over a big city named Bukavu. Burundi worries this will make things worse because Rwanda might help Red Tabara even more.
Rwanda's leader, Paul Kagame, said mean things about Burundi's leader. He said Burundi only helps Congo because of the way people look different from each other. Kagame also said having Burundi's army in Congo makes everything less safe.
Burundi's leader told his people to stay alert. He said if anyone tries to hurt them, they will hurt them back. He feels very sad about what happened in Congo and promised his people they would not let the same bad things happen in Burundi. He thinks Rwanda wants to take over Bukavu and then attack Burundi next.
