Rebel attacks reportedly diminishing in parts

    NAIROBI

    Rebel attacks in some parts of the country are said to have lessened, although the number of military operations and rebel retaliation in the south is still very high, according to humanitarian sources. Fighting is reported to have reduced in Bujumbura Rural, as have rebel attacks on the capital Bujumbura. In the north, sporadic clashes have been reported, attributed to rebels on their way to the Kibira forest from Tanzania. In
    Muramvya province, about 500 people from two collines in Kirama zone, near the forest, were regrouped early this month due to the security situation.
