“Many” rebels reportedly crossing into east

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, “many” armed rebels are reportedly crossing into Gisuru commune in eastern Burundi from the Gitenga area of Tanzania, the private Burundian news agency Azania reported on Wednesday. It quoted an eyewitness in the commune as saying about 100-150 men were sighted in the area. Azania also quoted military sources as acknowledging the existence of rebel command posts in Gitenga and Kibondo, which act as centres for “liaison” and “supply of ammunition”.
