Congolese clerics have met with Kenyan President William Ruto in their quest for a peaceful solution to the war in the eastern part of their country, where M23 rebels continue to seize territory.
Clerics from the Catholic and Protestant churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have launched a process of dialogue. Ruto is the third East African leader to host the group, after Paul Kagame of Rwanda and Felix Tshisekedi of the DRC. They also met with the leadership of the alliance of rebels known as AFC, the French acronym for Congo River Alliance, the political wing of the M23, and opposition figures such as Martin Fayulu, Matata Ponyo and Delly Sesanga in Kinshasa.
