Burundian opposition parties called for international bodies such as the United Nations to be included in talks aimed at ending violence that’s killed at least 277 people since April.
While the current mediator, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, is appropriate because he helped implement the Arusha Accords that ended Burundi’s civil war in 2005, more parties should be involved, a group of opposition parties known as Cnared said in a statement on its Facebook page.
