Buyoya “still an enemy”, FDD says

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile CNDD-FDD leader, Jean-Bosco Ndayikengurukiye categorically rejected President Buyoya’s appointment as transitional leader for 18 months. He told the BBC French service that Buyoya “is still an enemy to be fought”. “The CNDD-FDD does not believe this is significant progress towards peace,” he stated. However, he said the move could pave the way for a “new mediation process”, meaning negotiations between the “real belligerents” (the army and the rebels) for the restoration of peace and democracy in Burundi.
