Nyangoma's CNDD calls for direct talks with army

    NAIROBI
    The rebel Conseil national pour la defense de la democratie (CNDD) faction of Leonard Nyangoma has called for direct talks with the Burundian army, the private Azania news agency reported on Thursday. It quoted a spokesman for the group, Sylvestre Maruha, who said the Arusha talks would only be successful if the facilitators "defined the objective of the talks" and identified the "real belligerents". The conflicting sides should negotiate among themselves in order to create a "security force for everyone", he said. Maruha added that the donors were financing the Arusha talks without properly evaluating them.
