Burundian President Pierre Buyoya said on Friday that “nothing concrete” had resulted form the meeting of regional leaders held last week in Pretoria, South Africa, to discuss DRC peace prospects. Buyoya told Radio Umwizero in Bujumbura, monitored by the BBC, that the planned Lusaka summit was not certain. “Let us wait and see if it will take place in the first place,” Buyoya said, adding that “things that are planned in this framework are later postponed or cancelled.”
Meanwhile, a South African government source told IRIN on Monday that the holding of Saturday’s head of state summit would depend on what emerged from the ministerial meetings starting on Wednesday.
