East African leaders call for immediate ceasefire in DRC

East African Heads of state meeting in Nairobi, Kenya on Monday have called for an immediate ceasefire and cessation of hostilities in the Democratic Republic of Congo where fighting in the last few weeks has left thousands displaced. The leaders also agreed on the modalities of the deployment of an East African regional force whose mandate will be to stabilize the troubled regions in the DRC. In April this year, East African Heads of state agreed to the deployment of troops and last week Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta who is also the EAC chairman called on the immediate deployment of troops to pacify the provinces of South Kivu, North Kivu and Ituri in the East of the DRC. Sarah Kimani reports.

i am a kenyan I support both our president ruto and uhuru on this war because they were the same people who told us to go and invest in congo they told our banks and companies to build in congo so they should work to ensure we don't loose our businesses there.

Stop bad mouthing General Kagame. I am an African too. DRC has itself to blame. With all these resources and it's still the worst poverty stricken country in the world. Shame on your leaders. In fact Kagame should manage both DRC and Rwanda because your leaders are absolute failures.

Rwandan military forces can solve issues in DRC !

[mayinyakato]

To all Africa leaders they is no peace in East Africa when Museveni and kagame they are still alive some has be done before it is to let they are one who created M23

This internal fighting amongst Africans especially highlighting tribal differences has always been the trump card for a few European Individuals to cause anarchy and chaos in Africa, whilst the wealth of Africa are removed by them and guess what. Their plan works everytime.

👉 RWANDA build a GOLD REFINERY FACTORY in Rwanda some years ago.
My QUESTION is: Where does Rwanda get ALL the GOLD that they REFINE in their Country and why can't DR CONGO build their own GOLD REFINERY FACTORY in DR CONGO? Eh? Why?🤔🤔🤔
👉 Is it that Rwanda does Not want DR CONGO to Build their own GOLD REFINERY FACTORY in DR CONGO so that they can REFINE their own GOLD?🤔👈❌
