Meeting on Burundi peace process on

    NAIROBI

    Members of Burundi's national assembly and the government are currently meeting to discuss the peace process, Burundi radio reported on Thursday. The meeting, which was opened on Thursday by the country's first vice-president Frederic Bamvuginyuvira, will end on Saturday.

    "The National Assembly and the government wish to reassure everybody and remind people that every peace process is a long-term project which can only be realised gradually, with perseverance and courage and by drawing on the experiences we have gained and the steps so far taken," Burundi radio quoted him as saying.

    Meanwhile, the office of former president Nelson Mandela said
    consultations were still underway to schedule a meeting with Colonel Jean Bosco Ndayikengurukiye, the Burundian rebel leader of the Conseil national pour la defense de la democratie (CNDD). Earlier this week, Mandela, the mediator in the Burundian peace process, held talks with the Burundian premier, Pierre Buyoya.
