Bujumbura — MSP-Inkinzo has recommended the representatives of the government in the Joint Verification and Monitoring Mechanism to go to meet their FNL interlocutors where they are.
This is part of statement that was issued today on the eve of the commemoration of 43rd anniversary of the assassination of Pierre Ngendandumwe whose ideals were a source of inspiration for MSP-Inkinzo political party.
This party also recommends that the special parliamentarian commission to analyse the blockage that arose in the talks between the government of Burundi and PALIPEHUTU-FNL should be set up. This commission should play the facilitation between the two sides after the failure of the facilitator in Burundi's peace process, Charles Nqakula.
It is no surprise that the MSP-Inkinzo wants the government of Burundi to meet representatives of FNL where they are. A few years ago, the former leader of Inkinzo, Dr. Alphonse Rugambarara, tried to meet the leaders of PALIPEHUTU-FNL in Bujumbura province. This move was however thwarted by the government.
Pierre Ngendandumwe also known as Ndumwe, who inspires this tutsi-dominated party, was hutu who was appointed twice as a prime minister. He played a fundamental role in the talks that led Burundi to Independence. His assassination like many blood events that shook Burundi was carried out in circumstances that were kept unclear by authorities of the time, but due to his profile that inspired respect his remains lie in that National Mausoleum where Prince Louis Rwagasore, the national hero, was buried. He was later proclaimed a national hero by a commission in which participated some of the people who have been allegedly accused to be involved in his murder that took place in front Prince Louis Rwagasore Clinic.
