UN Security Council calls for positive debate in Arusha

Meanwhile, the President of the UN Security Council, Ambassador Celso Amorim of Brazil, said yesterday that Council members expressed support for the Arusha peace process and urged the international community to provide financial support. “Members of the Security Council encouraged all parties, including the government of Burundi, to negotiate seriously in Arusha so as to bring an end to the volatile situation in the country,” Ambassador Amorim said. The Council also appealed to regional leaders who imposed sanctions against Burundi to review them with a view to lifting them, or at least suspending them, on the basis of proposals by Nyerere.
