EAC, Sadc leaders double down on diplomacy in Congo crisis
Five former presidents were appointed to the panel of facilitators to help find a solution to the escalating crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Leaders of the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) blocs have ruled out the use of military force to resolve the crisis in eastern Congo.
Instead, they said at a joint summit on Monday that they would use political and diplomatic means. They appointed five former presidents, including Kenya’s Uhuru Kenyatta and Nigeria’s Olusegun Obasanjo, to help find a solution to the escalating crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
