New alliance created

    NAIROBI
    Nine political personalities have joined together to create the Alliance nationale pour le changement (ANAC), aimed at ending impunity and violence in the country. The private Netpress news agency named the members as Domitien Ndayizeye FRODEBU (external) secretary-general, Severin Ndikumugongo vice-president of the Parti du peuple, Cyrille Barancira vice-president of PARENA, Jean Baptiste Mukuri secretary-general of ABASA, Philippe Nzobonariba secretary-general of the RPB party, Andre Biha an MP, Antole Kanyenkiko former prime minister, Pierre Claver Rurerekana of SOJEDEM and MP Terence Nahimana. ANAC said its aims were to promote a common vision for change and to refuse to accept the status quo. Netpress described the creation of ANAC as a "response" the establishment in October of the Convergence nationale pour la paix et la reconciliation (CNPR) bringing together the internal wing of FRODEBU and mainly Tutsi parties.
