But the armed groups refuse to co-operate. I issued invitations to them as far back as January 2000 to join the Peace Negotiations and, in addition, held several meetings with them without success.
Meantime, innocent and defenceless civilians, including children and women, are being indiscriminately killed. One of these groups operates from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Secretary-General might like to appeal to President Joseph Kabila, who seems to be totally committed to bring peace to his country, to stop such operations from his country.
About two days before the Paris Conference the armed groups tried to shoot down a Belgian civilian aircraft. Although it was hit, it managed to land.
It is for these reasons that we have arranged for troops from the abovementioned countries to be sent to Burundi to put an end to the slaughtering of innocent civilians.
I am ready to supply you with any additional information you may require.
Please accept my personal regards and best wishes.
Sincerely
