Minister of Information, Communication, and Relations With Parliament and Government Spokesman Hafsa Mossi of Burundi

Mossi had said the government was "delighted" that the FNL delegation had agreed to return for these talks, but demanded that a new official ceasefire be declared by the FNL and its Palipehutu political wing.

Burundi's Minister of Information and Communication Technology Hafsa Mossi said she was optimistic that her government, which does not have e-government systems, could learn from South Africa on how to establish such systems.
