A joint Summit of leaders from the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) has named two new facilitators for the peace bid on the Democratic Republic of Congo, formally merging two processes that had struggled to pursue end of animosity.
The decision means Kenya's former president Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya will remain on the mediation as a co-facilitator.
