Talks aimed at ending the violent political unrest in Burundi have re-opened in Uganda's capital, Kampala. Delegates from Burundi's government and opposition parties will discuss issues pertaining to the formation of a government of national unity, stability and security in Burundi. Burundi has been rocked by violence linked to President Pierre Nkurunziza's successful but contested bid for a third term in office. Regional Heads of State appointed Uganda in July to lead efforts to end months of unrest, but attempts to broker a deal made little headway. Rivals to President Pierre Nkurunzinza's government have however expressed optimism that the resumption of talks would yield positive results.
