Different FNL factions are at loggerheads at the central prison of Mpimba, where a person was injured on 11 November as inmates loyal to different FNL factions were about to take to the fists.

The dispute is between those loyal to Agathon Rwasa and those loyal to the recent FNL breakaway faction. An insecurity climate was still prevailing in this prison 12 November morning. Penitentiary authorities have succeeded to get the situation under control. Among the reasons that the leadership of FNL-PALIPEHUTU advanced when they walked out of the truce monitoring commission, the release of FNL combatants was included. The leadership of FNL-PALIPEHUTU accused the government of continuing to imprison their combatants while the talks were still going on.

This incident in the central shows the acute nature of the problem of dissidence that the government of Burundi has mishandled and entertained.
