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.

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