Ivorian rebel group New Forces will begin disarming by Dec. 22, after which its members will be reintegrated into the country’s armed forces, a Burkina Faso Foreign Ministry spokesman said Nov. 29.

The announcement from Burkina Faso’s Foreign Ministry came two days after Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo and Prime Minister Guillaume Soro traveled to the Burkina Faso capital to meet with Burkinabe President Blaise Compaore. The gathering was a follow-up to Gbagbo’s meeting with Compaore in March to discuss the Compaore-brokered Ivorian peace accord. That accord called for Soro, who led the New Forces, to be named prime minister.
