Libreville talks deadlocked

    NAIROBI

    The Libreville talks meanwhile ended in deadlock, sources in Bujumbura told IRIN. The FDD reportedly refused to recognise South African Deputy President Jacob Zuma who is trying to broker talks between the two groups. The rebel movement also said it wanted to negotiate solely with the government, outside the Arusha peace process - conditions which the government rejected. Observers say the FDD appears to believe it can resolve the Burundi problem militarily. On arrival in Bujumbura, Buyoya said he was committed to direct talks with the armed rebel movements, the Agence burundaise de presse reported.
