FRODEBU denies asking Malawi’s Muluzi to facilitate talks

    NAIROBI

    The external wing of the opposition FRODEBU party has denied involvement in an alleged joint communique with Bujumbura that requested Malawian President Bakili Muluzi to co-mediate in the country’s peace talks, ‘The Guardian’ newspaper said. In a press statement, FRODEBU chairman Jean Minani on Monday said his party opposed the idea that President Muluzi should take on the role of former Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere who is undergoing medical treatment in London. The paper also quoted an official of the Nyerere Foundation, Mark Bomani, who said he was “not aware” of the proposal.
