Burundi has rejected a report by the East African Community-mediated Inter-Burundi Dialogue, which calls for a review of the Constitution to take into account the provisions of the Arusha Accord of 2000.
The facilitator of the Dialogue, former Tanzanian president Benjamin Mkapa, presented his report at the February 1 East African Community Heads of State Summit in Arusha.
