A day after Burundi ordered Belgians to leave the country, Uganda says it is willing to take in foreign nationals fleeing violence 

The Burundi government accuses its former colonial power of having ties with opposition groups.

Belgium had earlier warned its citizens to leave the nation 

Uganda's foreign ministry says negotiations are scheduled to take place in Uganda's capital Kampala soon.

Violence broke out in Burundi in April this year when President Pierri Nkuruinziza announced his bid for an unconstitutional third term in office.

He went ahead to win a controversial election that led to fresh violence, sending people fleeing to neighboring countries.
