UPRONA-Mukasi vows to scupper accord

    NAIROBI

    A splinter group of the Tutsi-dominated UPRONA movement, led by Charles Mukasi, this week denounced the Arusha peace process, saying it was “aimed at institutionalising genocide and destroying the Burundi nation”. The private NetPress agency quoted members of the party’s committee as vowing to “do everything to ensure failure” of the agreement. The group’s statement urged all leaders involved in preparing the framework agreement “not to succumb to intimidation of any kind” and to carry on with the work of making a success of “the real process of preventing genocide and discouraging it forever”.
