United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the assassination of Hafsa Mossi, former Burundian Minister for East African Community Affairs and Member of the East African Legislative Assembly, in the capital, Bujumbura. 
"This despicable act of violence only serves to promote divisions, entrench mistrust, and destabilize the country," said a statement issued by Ban's spokesperson, in which the UN chief extended his deepest condolences to Mossi's family. 
The Secretary-General in his statement reiterated the need to intensify efforts to find a negotiated settlement to the crisis in Burundi and called on all parties concerned to engage fully and in good faith in the peace process led by the East African Community (EAC). 
Media reports suggest that Mossi was shot by unknown assailants near her home in Bujumbura.
