Minister says Arusha process could end soon

    NAIROBI

    Burundian Peace Process Minister Ambroise Niyonsaba said if there was good will on all sides, the Arusha process could conclude quickly. He told IRIN the last round of talks had not been a success, but there were "high and lows" in all peace processes and the lessons had to be learnt. He urged the facilitators "not to take sides", and to stick to their
    "participatory" role, rather than taking on the role of "accusers". He also said the facilitators should reconcile the sides so that there was a "coherent" agenda. Reiterating the government's view that all sides in the conflict should take part in the Arusha process, Niyonsaba said it was "completely incomprehensible to make peace in the absence of those who are
    waging war".
