On November 13th, 2015, the Belgium’s foreign affairs minister has ordered all Belgians staying in Burundi to go back home through some media outlets such as RTBF and Iwacu newspaper, on the fallacious pretence that the ruling CNDD-FDD Party issues statements against Belgians . A week after the communiqué, the Belgium Embassy to Burundi has issued a release opposed to the one made public by its top official whereby it clarifies that ‘Belgium has not called on its citizens to leave the country’.
Tarehe 13 Novemba 2015, Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa wa Ubelgiji, kupitia vyombo vya habari vya RTBF cha Ubelgiji na IWACU ya Burundi aliagiza kwamba Wabelgiji wote waliopo nchini waondoke kwa madai kuwa wanasemwa vibaya na warundi hususan katika tangazo la chama CNDD-FDD na Serikali yake. Baada ya wiki moja ya tangazo hilo, Ubalozi wa Ubelgiji nchini Burundi mnamo tarehe 20 Novemba 2015 baada ya kutafakari kwa kina maagizo hayo walitofautiana na Bosi wao. Balozi alikanusha maelezo hayo na kusema kuwa nchi ya Ubelgiji haijawatolea wito watu wake kuondoka Burundi.
