Regional summit mooted

    NAIROBI

    Tanzanian Foreign Minister Jakaya Kikwete has indicated that a meeting of regional leaders is scheduled to take place to choose a new facilitator for the Burundi peace process, the Tanzanian ‘Guardian’ daily reported on Thursday. However, no date has yet been set for the meeting. In a letter to the Tanzanian government, the Burundi authorities have reportedly pledged their readiness to continue with the process, the newspaper added. Burundi is in favour of South African mediation, and some analysts believe a deal may already have been struck to bring South Africa on board.
