Leaders elected to lead DRC peace talks

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta is among the leaders elected to lead DRC peace talks.

This is after leaders from the EAC and the SADC met on Monday to advance a ceasefire plan.

During the summit, five former heads of state were elected to facilitate the peace process.

Others are Nigeria’s Olusegun Obasanjo, South Africa’s Kgalema Motlanthe, Ethiopia’s Sahle-Work Zewde, and Central African Republic’s Catherine Samba Panza.

Rwanda-backed M23 rebels and pro-government fighters have continued to clash despite calls for a ceasefire.
