    NAIROBI

    The facilitator for the Burundi peace talks Nelson Mandela will visit Bujumbura on 28 April, an official of The Mandela Foundation in South Africa told IRIN on Wednesday. The official said she did not have any additional details of the visit. Burundi news agency Azania reported on Monday that Mandela's main purpose will be to hold talks with the Burundi
    army command. It quoted opposition sources as saying that Mandela would also meet Burundi groups and associations which are opposed to the current Arusha peace process.
