South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir on Thursday toured Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in his role as the East African Community (EAC) chairman, in an attempt to stem rising tensions between the three neighbours.
President Kiir’s first stop was in Kigali in efforts to deescalate the conflict in the Eastern DRC that has intensified since the withdrawal of the EAC Regional Forces (EACRF), whose mandate expired late last year.
