It was reported yesterday that talks would begin anew between the government of Burundi and the nation's last Hutu rebel movement under the supervision of South African officials. FNL, the Forces for National Liberation, seeks to have addressed new issues of importance after having just quit "a joint ceasefire monitoring team." President Pierre Nkurunziza has shown good faith in that he will seek to honor the requests of the FNL to be an integral part of Burundi's army, per the allowances of the constitution, as reported in the article.
News that the two parties are willing to return to the table for talks is certainly good news. However, each side must be willing to give and take, as the author notes.
