There was renewed hope of a thawing of relations between Rwanda and Burundi, when East African Legislative Assembly (Eala) MPs visited the country as part of the team assessing the workings of EAC institutions and the Central Corridor.
Ndangiza Fatuma, Barimuyabo Jean Claude, Kalinda François Xavier and Rutazana Francine were the first Rwandan officials to visit Burundi since the onset of the political crisis in 2015, when President Pierre Nkurunziza ran for a contested third term.
