PRESIDENT Thabo Mbeki held hour-long talks with visiting Burundi President Pierre Buyoya in Cape Town on Tuesday. The talks were a follow-up to a meeting between Nelson Mandela and Buyoya on Monday during which the two leaders discussed efforts to bring peace to the tiny African state, embroiled in a civil war since 1993 in which about 200000 people have been killed and another 1.1 million displaced. A statement issued after the talks said that both Buyoya and Mbeki had agreed that durable peace could not be achieved “if all Burundi groupings, inside and outside the country do not participate and commit themselves to a peaceful resolution of the Burundi conflict.”
