<p>We regret that the Inter-Burundi dialogue is yet to yield a resolution to the
political crisis. We call upon the Government of Burundi to engage in good faith in
inclusive dialogue with all parties, that reflects the spirit of the Arusha Accord.
We also call on the region to remain focused on the importance of resolving this crisis
to ensure stability and prosperity in Burundi and the region.</p><p>We remain very
concerned that the elections will not take place in a fair and peaceful environment
and we therefore continue to press for Burundi to remain on the agenda of the UN Security
Council. We have been in discussions with like-minded countries to assess options
for re-engaging the Government on dialogue and the upcoming elections, taking into
account the role of the UN Special Envoy for Burundi and the UN Security Council.</p>
