The African Union is encouraging Burundi to accept the authorized peacekeeping mission that is primarily aimed at restoring peace and normalcy to the country. So far, Burundi has refused to accept a 5-thousand-strong force the AU wants to deploy, arguing the alliance is not merely after peaceful purposes in Burundi. Our correspondent Coletta Wanjohi has a report from Addis Ababa.
