Burundi: Security Council concerned by continued fighting

Members of the United Nations Security Council have expressed concern about the continued fighting in Burundi and urged all parties to show restraint and finish peace negotiations. Talks between the Force nationals de liberation (Palipehutu-FNL) and the Government should be completed "with a view to promote, as soon as possible, a complete cessation of hostilities and the participation of the Palipehutu-FNL in the transitional institutions," said the Council President for March, Ambassador Jean-Marc de La Sablière of France, in a statement to the press.
