Democratic Republic of Congo President Félix Tshisekedi is set to skip the virtual emergency summit of East African Community (EAC) leaders to address the crisis in the DRC.
By skipping the summit, Tshisekedi is set to snub President William Ruto, who was the orchestrator of the summit in his capacity as EAC chair.
Ruto was set to facilitate high-level talks between Tshisekedi and his Rwandan counterpart Paul Kagame to bring an end to the ravaging war in the DRC.
The new development was communicated by presidential spokesperson Tina Salama, attributing Tshisekedi's absence from the summit to scheduling reasons.
