“The different rebel groups around Burundi have formed one cohesive unit known as the Republican Forces of Burundi. The group’s goal is to ‘drive out Nkurunziza by force to restore the Arusha accord and democracy.’ The rebels and government forces have clashed on many different occasions, and the rebel groups even launched a failed mortar attack on the Presidential Palace.”
