Southern African Development Community (SADC) leaders have agreed to a joint summit with their East African Community (EAC) counterparts to try to end the crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where rebels have seized control of vast territory.
The SADC leaders, who met for an extraordinary summit in Harare on Friday, expressed concern about the deteriorating security situation in the DRC, after the M23 rebels attacked peacekeepers from the regional bloc as they moved to capture the major city of Goma last week.
