Where would Burundian refugees in Rwanda go?

We reported earlier that Rwanda says it has began talks with its international partners to relocate Burundian refugees currently in Rwanda to other host countries.
But the UN's refugee agency told Focus on Africa that this was news to them.
The UNHCR's external relations officer Martina Pomeroy told the radio programme that, they are the key international partner but they had not heard anything from the ministry of foreign affairs on this.
She added that the announcement "raised more questions than it answered".
“We have no indication that anyone is willing to relocate refugees and who would receive them.”
