The number of Burundian refugees entering Rwanda fearing violence has topped 21,500, just a month to the June 26 presidential election.
This brings the number of refugees in Rwanda from neighbouring countries to almost 100,000, a scenario observers say could create one of the most worrying refugee crisis in the region.
