I think that the leaders and presidents who are part of the East African Community do not see the Burundian crisis and its potential outcome in the same way. That is why the dialogue has not advanced over the past three years. Some countries support President Pierre Nkurunziza. So we are asking that the dialogue be extended across Africa, the African Union or the United Nations, as we have already noted that people from the community do not have the same point of view or the same willingness to find a solution to bring Burundi out of this crisis.
