Burundi government and opposition hold talks on political crisis: Sources

Bujumbura: The government and opposition in Burundi have met in a bid to defuse tensions after days of deadly demonstrations against a third term bid by President Pierre Nkurunziza, sources said Wednesday.

"This is a last chance meeting, they have to come up with concrete solutions so that elections can be held in acceptable conditions," a diplomat said.

The rivals met late Tuesday and talks were expected to continue Wednesday.
