The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has strongly condemned actions threatening regional peace and security and has reaffirmed its commitment to stability and humanitarian assistance.
In a communiqué delivered by SADC Executive Secretary Mr Elias Magosi this evening, the regional bloc expressed its deepest condolences for those affected by ongoing conflicts, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other troubled regions.
“The Summit denounced all acts of destabilisation and reaffirmed its support for diplomatic and peacekeeping efforts to restore order,” said Mr Magosi.
He said the security and humanitarian challenges, including disruptions to food supply lines and essential services, need to be addressed urgently.
SADC also reaffirmed its decision to deploy a peace and security mission to support affected communities.
“The deployment aims to safeguard regional stability and reinforce efforts toward lasting peace,” Mr Magosi said.
He said diplomatic engagement and regional cooperation are key in resolving conflicts.
“SADC calls on all stakeholders to work towards sustainable solutions that ensure peace, security and economic development,” Mr Magosi said.
