A meeting between the Burundi army, the FDD and FNL reported to have been scheduled for this week was "not likely to take place", a government official told IRIN on Tuesday. "I don't think the talks will take place. They were not scheduled.
We have not received any communications or invitation for the meeting," the official said. News organisations had quoted Judge Mark Bomani, a representative of Burundi peace talks facilitator Nelson Mandela, as saying that there would be a meeting between the government and the armed groups.
