Geneva, 28 August 2015 - Deeply concerned by the worsening political, economic, and security situation in Burundi, the Envoys, following their meeting today in Geneva, call for the immediate resumption of an inclusive dialogue, including those parties which did not participate in recent elections, led by the East African Community with the support of the African Union and the United Nations. Such a dialogue should be based on and respect the principles of the Arusha Agreement, which, signed fifteen years ago today, has led to more than a decade of peace and stability in Burundi. The Envoys call on all Burundian stakeholders to reject violence and choose a peaceful path of dialogue to resolve fundamental sources of tension and conflict in the country.
