Nyangoma’s CNDD rejects South African mediation

    NAIROBI

    The rebel CNDD faction of Leonard Nyangoma has rejected any possible South African mediation in the Burundi peace process. In a statement, received by IRIN on Thursday, CNDD claimed that meetings between the government and the rival CNDD-FDD faction had been held on South African soil over the past year. It accused South Africa of “assisting the military regime in its attempts to divide the opposition”. The statement, signed by Nyangoma, said CNDD did not consider that South Africa met the conditions of “neutrality, balance and impartiality” to take on the facilitation of the peace process.
