The Burundian government has started campaigns to lure refugees living in Tanzania to return home in bid to convince the international community that the country is safer.

Most of the refugees who have been staying in Tanzania fled the country in 2015 due to violence, after then President Pierre Nkurunziza ran for a controversial third term.
