The East African Community Regional Force (EACRF) has moved on after the exit of former Commander Maj-Gen Jeff Nyagah, even though the Democratic Republic of Congo was still questioning the role of the mission in ending perennial conflict.
A meeting of regional defence chiefs initially scheduled for Bujumbura last week was postponed with the reason given as another high-profile conference on Great Lakes peace in which UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was to attend.
