Leaders schedule another EAC-SADC meeting over Congo crisis
Leaders from the regional blocs of Southern African Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC) pose for a photograph before attending a joint summit to discuss the conflict in eastern DR Congo in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania on February 8, 2025.
Leaders from two blocs of the Great Lakes region are scheduled for a meeting on Sunday, and Monday, for the second time in a month, to attempt a permanent solution to the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The ministers from the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) represent two blocs to which the DRC belongs. They have both attempted military means and it wasn’t successful to end the war between M23 rebels and Congolese forces.
