<p>The elections scheduled for May this year represent an important moment for the
people of Burundi. We remain very concerned that the elections will not take place
in a fair and peaceful environment and we therefore call on the government and international
community to minimise the risk of violence and work towards an inclusive electoral
process where all parties are free to participate peacefully. In coordination with
key partners, the UK has raised our concerns with the Government of Burundi, in the
UN Security Council and in other multilateral bodies, and has urged the international
community to ensure that the focus remains on reducing the risk of violence in Burundi.</p>
