NAIROBI, Jan 6 (AFP) - Seven African heads of state will gather here Saturday for a one-day meeting to discuss the Rwandan refugee crisis, Kenyan officials said Friday.
The leaders will discuss the problems caused by two million Rwandans who have sought refuge in neighboring countries, as well as ways to encourage a national reconciliation. They will also exchange views on the situation in Burundi, where Hutu-Tutsi tensions are running high.
President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda was to arrive here later Friday, while Sylvestre Ntibantunganya of Burundi, Pasteur Bizimungu of Rwanda, Frederick Chiluba of Zambia, Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire and Ali Hassan Mwiunyi of Tanzania were to arrive Saturday morning, foreign ministry officials said.
They were to be received by President Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya at State House, where the talks will take place, the officials added.
