In a 鈥渨orrisome context,鈥� and following the decision of the government of Burundi to hold the presidential election on 21 July, the United Nations chief called yesterday on the authorities to do all in their power to ensure security and a peaceful atmosphere during the polls.

鈥溙鼴an Ki-moon further calls on all parties to refrain from any acts of violence that could compromise the stability of Burundi and the region,鈥� reads the听issued by the UN Spokesperson.

Mr. Ban reiterates his appeal for the resumption of a frank dialogue and urges parties to avoid undermining the progress achieved in 鈥渂uilding democracy鈥� since the signing of the Arusha Agreements, adds the statement.

The inter-Burundian dialogue that started on 14 July 2015 under the facilitation of Uganda has been indefinitely suspended.

鈥淭he Secretary-General notes that the suspension of the dialogue took place without agreement being reached on a range of issues that would have contributed to the creation of a climate conducive to the holding of credible and peaceful elections, as contained in the relevant recommendations of the East African Community (EAC) and the African Union.鈥�

Recalling that the United Nations Electoral Observation Mission has deployed observers countrywide, the UN Chief calls on all parties to facilitate their work and, 鈥渋n particular,鈥� on the government to ensure their security.

According to the UN, civil unrest erupted on 26 April in Bujumbura, Burundi鈥檚 capital, after the ruling Conseil national pour la d茅fense de la d茅mocratie-Forces pour la d茅fense de la d茅mocratie (CNDD-FDD) party elected President Pierre Nkurunziza on 25 April as its candidate for the then-scheduled 26 June presidential election. It was postponed to July 15, then July 21.
