The National Liberation Force ambushed a group of soldiers on Saturday, killing four soldiers and a civilian, a local official said. The National Liberation Force, or FNL, has repeatedly violated a ceasefire and it is still holding out against a peace deal to end Burundi's 12-year conflict. According to local chief Hakizimana Mossi, Saturday's attack was in a rural part of Bujumbura. Burundi is emerging from more than a decade of ethnic clashes between majority Hutus and minority Tutsis which left more than 250 000 people, mostly civilians, dead. Several peace deals led to democratic elections last year and the formation of a power-sharing government between members of the Hutus and the Tutsis. The FNL, a Hutu group, has been the only holdout, but recently agreed to peace talks.
