Tanzania to host joint EAC-SADC summit on eastern DR Congo crisis
Civilians who fled from Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), following clashes between M23 rebels and DRC Army, carry their belongings as they walk towards the Grand Barrier crossing point to return home in Gisenyi, Rubavu District, Rwanda on January 30, 2025.
Tanzania will host a joint summit of two regional blocs to which the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) belongs, signaling a new step to try and find common ground on the crisis caused by a war between M23 rebels and the Congolese army.
The meeting will bring together the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East Africa Community (EAC) on Friday and Saturday and will discuss the conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a statement from the State House Nairobi said.
