US concerned over regroupment

    NAIROBI

    The US State Department has expressed concern over the humanitarian consequences of regroupment in Bujumbura Rural. A spokesman on Wednesday said the State Department welcomed the Burundi government’s decision to allow unimpeded access to the sites and called for the “humane transfer” of people in accessible sites to those within reach of humanitarian organisations. “The US condemns all attacks on civilians, from whichever side, government or rebel, that have provoked the spiralling cycle of violence in Bujumbura Rural province and throughout Burundi,” the spokesman said. He urged the sides to resort to negotiations, rather than violence.
