Buyoya says peace process at advanced stage

    NAIROBI

    President Pierre Buyoya has said he hopes for a peace accord in the first half of the year. In an interview, reported by Burundi radio, he said he believed the peace process was at an advanced stage. “We hope that in the first half of the year we can reach a peace agreement,” he said. “We shall work for this...if there are a few difficulties along the way, let’s be patient.” He acknowledged the problem of violence still persisted and reiterated his wish that all parties to the conflict be represented at the negotiating table. “We have been informed that the new mediator is actively working on this,” he added.
