AU to send 200 monitors to Burundi: Zuma

NAIROBI — The African Union will send 100 human rights monitors and 100 military monitors to Burundi as the tiny nation faces its worst political crisis since a civil war ended a decade ago, South Africa’s president said yesterday.

Jacob Zuma delivered the statement at the airport shortly before leaving Bujumbura after heading an AU delegation of African leaders to Burundi to try to end violence. He did not say when the monitors would arrive or start their work. — Reuters
