DRC/Rwanda: Rwanda and the DRC Buoyant About Peace

Peace efforts in the Great Lakes region were taken a step further this week when leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo met in South Africa for talks. The regional summit, hosted by President Thabo Mbeki, focused on the implementation of a peace accord between the two central African countries that was signed on July 30 last year. Mozambican President Joachim Chissano also attended the meeting in his capacity as president of the African Union (AU).
