PALIPEHUTU warns of “intensifying” war

    NAIROBI

    Another rebel group, PALIPEHUTU-FNL, warned it would “continue and intensify” the “armed struggle” until the “political demands of the majority are met”. In a statement, received by IRIN on Tuesday, PALIPEHUTU said it resorted to arms “because the peaceful way was inconclusive”. “However, our organisation remains open to peace talks as long as its dignity is not compromised,” the statement said. It warned Hutu refugees in neighbouring countries and elsewhere not to return to Burundi “where the cause of their exile is ever present”.
