Museveni pledges support for a peaceful Burundi

    NAIROBI
    Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said on Tuesday he and other leaders in the Great Lakes region were ready "to fully support the Barundi once they agreed on an equitable plan of how to bring peace, security and democracy to their country." Museveni told Burundi envoy Colonel Alfred Nkurunziza in Kampala that "it should be possible to attain peace in Burundi" if it worked closely with others in the region, according to a statement from the Presidential Press Secretary's office. Nkrunziza briefed President Museveni on the security and political situation in Burundi, assuring him that Bujumbura viewed dialogue as "the only way" to bring peace to Burundi.
