The East African Community-mediated Inter-Burundi dialogue, scheduled for Wednesday, October 24, seemed to falter after the government and ruling party delegates failed to turn up.
The facilitator, former Tanzanian president Benjamin Mkapa, was forced to postpone the commencement of the talks to Thursday, October 25, to allow the government side time to attend.
