THE Burundi mediator, Tanzania ex-President Benjamin Mkapa, has presented a document that mapped out to restore peace in Bunjumbura.

East African Community (EAC) Chairperson and President of Tanzania, Dr John Magufuli, said they have received the document that came after rallies of meeting in and outside the bloc.
The EAC chairperson said during the bloc 17th extraordinary meeting in Dar es Salaam that the mediator has done a commendable job on restoring peace in Burundi.
Burundi peace was shuttered after President Pierre Nkurunziza ran for the third term, which opposition said it was against the constitution.
However, Nkurunziza said the first term was during peace transition period and not the first term in office.
