Committee negotiations to resume this month

    NAIROBI

    The second and fifth committees of the Burundi peace process will resume their negotiations in Arusha on 10 and 17 April, respectively, news agencies reported. Mark Bomani, representative of peace talks' facilitator Nelson Mandela, told journalists on Friday at the conclusion of the latest
    round of Arusha negotiations that he hoped the third committee would also resume its work this month, with the participation for the first time of armed rebels of the Forces pour la defense de la democratie (FDD) and the Forces nationales de liberation (FNL). "Committee Three will be meeting on a day to be decided after the armed groups have had their consultations,"
    Hirondelle quoted Bomani as saying. The second committee is charged with negotiating the nature of a transition government, while the newly-created fifth committee is addressing measures to guarantee the implementation of the peace agreement. The third committee deals with peace and security issues.
