    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, Burundi peace mediator, former Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere, has said Burundian refugees in Tanzania should be represented at the ongoing Arusha peace process.

    According to local press reports, he told refugees during a visit to Tanzania's Kigoma region on Thursday that peace could only come through dialogue and the participation of everyone involved the conflict. He urged Burundians to "abandon antiquated
    tribalism".
