Southern African Development Community (Sadc) leaders have extended the bloc’s peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by one year, amid concerns about a growing humanitarian crisis caused by the raging civil war.
The Sadc Mission in the DRC (SAMIDRC) was deployed on December 15, 2023 and was due to expire next month.
