Burundi Peace Talks Under-way Amid Escalating Violence And Threats Of Civil War



IBTimes: In Uganda, Burundi Peace Talks Resume Amid Escalating Violence

Burundi’s warring sides arrived in nearby Uganda Monday to resume peace talks aimed at ending months of escalating violence that has claimed hundreds of lives. The long-stalled negotiations are being led by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni at the presidential palace in Entebbe, just outside the capital of Kampala, and they will include a Burundian government delegation as well as opposition members and civil society representatives, Agence France-Presse reported.

"I really appeal to you, the two sides, to sit down and have a political solution so that you save the people from the suffering," Museveni said as the talks opened Monday, according to Ugandan newspaper the Daily Monitor.
