Anglican Archbishop of Burundi to give evidence to UK parliament

By Sally Keeble, Director of the Anglican Alliance
The Archbishop of Burundi, Most Revd Bernard Ntahoturi will be giving 
evidence to the UK's International Development Select Committee in 
Parliament next week.
The Archbishop, who arrives in the UK on Sunday, will be giving 
evidence to the Committee's inquiry into the decision by the UK 
Government to close the DFID office in Burundi. The UK Government is 
planning to stop all bilateral development support to Burundi, other 
than supporting integration to the East Africa Community via 
Trademark East Africa.
The Archbishop and the Anglican Alliance put in a joint written 
submission to the Select Committee inquiry. The Select Committee 
hearing is at 10.30 am on Tuesday, July 5th, and is open to the public.
