Burundi, Tanzania defence ministers to meet

    NAIROBI

    Burundian and Tanzanian defence ministers are set to meet on Saturday in Bujumbura to discuss “ways of strengthening defence and security” along border areas of the two countries. Tanzanian radio on Friday said the meeting will discuss how to control the problems caused by ongoing fighting between the army and the rebels in Burundi. It said that this meeting will be preceded by a meeting of the army chiefs to review reports on the implementation of decisions taken at a similar meeting held in Kigoma last year.
