Burundians meet in Nairobi to discuss peace process

    ABIDJAN

    Burundians from within the country and from the diaspora have been meeting in Nairobi this week at a conference organised by the Burundi organisation, Compagnie des apotres de la paix (CAP). The meeting - a follow-up to a previous gathering in October - is aimed at bringing together as many Burundian representatives as possible, including exiles and government members. Participants in the meeting told IRIN today the themes under discussion were the internal and external peace processes and ways of maintaining a durable peace. Many participants reportedly questioned the external Arusha process, saying the mediator Julius Nyerere should recognise the rebel CNDD-FDD faction of Colonel Jean-Bosco Ndaykengurukiye as a negotiating party, rather than the more isolated Leonard Nyangoma.
