Leaders of the Southern Africa Development Cooperation (SADC) bloc on Saturday failed to signal definite deployment of troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo, leaving it open for further assessment.
Instead, they spoke of providing “strategic guidance on the deployment” of what is to be known as the SADC Mission in the DRC (SAMIDRC) meant to restore peace and security in the country, one of its member states.
