Burundi risks suspension
By Samuel Ssebuliba
The Great Lakes Committee on Peace and Security has warned that Burundi risks suspension from the group over its deliberate refusal to implement some of the resolutions passed last year during 7th Plenary Assembly of the Forums of Parliaments of member countries.
According to the committee president, Arinaitwe Rwakajara, member countries agreed that president Pierre Nkurunziza embraces dialogue by the regional and international community as well as end the rampant killings that are ravaging this country.
The committee further recommended that the Burundi government continues to cooperate with the mediation team instituted by the East African Community.
Rwakajara says despite all these efforts, Burundi has remained defiant and so it risks suspension from this committee.
