President Félix Tshisekedi took part in the 2nd Joint EAC (jumuiya) and SADC Summit (SADC News) on Monday evening, held via videoconference. During this summit, five former heads of state were appointed as facilitators for the crisis in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
They are Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo (Nigeria), Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta (Kenya), Mr. Kgalema Motlanthe (South Africa), Ms. Catherine Samba Panza (Central African Republic), and Mr. Sahle Zewde (Ethiopia).
This group will, in turn, appoint a mediator to replace Angolan President João Lourenço, whom the Congolese Head of State paid tribute to for having courageously and consistently led a delicate process, opening spaces for dialogue at times when hope seemed to be faltering.
