The key to defusing the Burundian time bomb therefore lies both in Bujumbura and in Kigali. And a little bit in Brussels, where some key figures of the opposition to Petero Nkurunziza and his party have withdrawn.

After all, the confidence in 'the Belgians' still remains with many Burundian top figures, despite some harsh words in recent months.
