SADC Executive Secretary Elias Magosi has stressed the need for increased international collaboration to tackle the worsening security situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Speaking at the SADC extraordinary summit in Harare, Magosi said there were challenges facing the DRC, particularly in the eastern regions.
He called for stronger partnerships to restore peace.
“Security cannot be achieved in isolation. The DRC, our region and the international community must come together to confront these challenges,” Magosi said. He said it was necessary to dismantle the economic power of armed groups destabilising the region.
Magosi said the December 2023 summit as a crucial moment for advancing peace efforts.
“We will continue to engage our partners to support the Government of the DRC in its fight for stability,” he said.
