Rift in FRODEBU

    NAIROBI

    There are signs of a deepening rift in the main opposition party, FRODEBU, after its exiled president Jean Minani ordered the dismissal of secretary-general Augustin Nzojibwami. The move follows last week’s expulsion by Nzojibwami of former president Sylvestre Ntibantunganya and three other members, on charges of trying to factionalise the party. However, according to the BBC’s Kirundi service, Nzojibwami has refused to comply with the order, saying Minani cannot lead the party from outside.
