Rebels propose two-stage peace plan

    NAIROBI
    To mark the sixth anniversary of the assassination of president Melchior Ndadaye last month, the rebel CNDD-FDD faction has set out its position regarding Burundi’s peace process. In a statement, received by IRIN on Friday, it said negotiations were the best way to achieve peace and proposed a two-stage plan. The first stage - to be held outside the country - would deal with issues related to the army and a “definitive” ceasefire. The second stage would deal with political issues and national reconciliation. CNDD-FDD also invited those members “who deserted, or even betrayed” the group, to take part in a “vast peace movement” for democracy.
