Meeting between Buyoya and FDD denied

    NAIROBI

    The Burundi presidency has denied reports of a meeting between President Pierre Buyoya and FDD rebel leader Jean-Bosco Ndayikengurukiye in South Africa. In a press statement, received by IRIN on Monday, the presidency described the reports as "pure indoctrination". "President Buyoya never met the FDD chief in South Africa", the statement said, adding that the FDD delegation was still awaited in the country. The statement warned
    against "misinformation" which sought to "distract the Burundi
    people...from the path of peace".
