CNDD wants to participate in ceasefire talks

    NAIROBI

    The pro-Hutu CNDD wants, "as an armed movement", to be part of the ceasefire negotiations, the independent Hirondelle news service on Tuesday quoted its leader Leonard Nyangoma as saying. Hirondelle quoted Nyangoma's statement on Monday as reiterating his party's support for the peace and reconciliation accord for Burundi, "but nevertheless makes its participation in the transitional government conditional on the conclusion of a negotiated agreement on a ceasefire". Meanwhile, last weekend, leader of the FDD, Jean-Bosco Ndayikengurukiye, said his group did not trust the army nor President Pierre Buyoya to step down after his 18-month tenure.
