Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and three other former heads of state have been appointed to lead joint peace talks seeking a lasting solution in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Uhuru's appointment follows a meeting of the Joint Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC) on Monday, February 24.
According to a statement shared by President William Ruto, the Chairperson of the EAC, former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo and Hailemariam Desalegn Boshe, the former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, were also appointed as facilitators for the joint peace talks.
The three will oversee the EAC-SADC peace process, which has merged the Luanda and Nairobi processes in eastern DRC.
