Arusha talks to resume

    NAIROBI

    Postponed consultations among six major sides taking part in the Arusha peace process will now be held on Monday [18 October] in Dar es Salaam. According to a press release from the Office of the Facilitator, the negotiating committees will reconvene in Arusha in early November. Analysts note that following the illness of the facilitator, Julius Nyerere, there had been much speculation as to the future of the Arusha process. The Dar talks - between the government, the national assembly, the pro-Tutsi UPRONA and PARENA, and the pro-Hutu FRODEBU and CNDD - should have taken place on 4 October. The press release said three senior members of the facilitation would visit countries of the region, including Burundi, for consultations and briefings. In addition, the chairman of the fourth committee, Ambassador Georg Linke, was due in Burundi to acquaint himself with the situation of displaced and regrouped people.
