SADC has urged for a broader panel of peace facilitators in the DRC, effectively challenging Kenya’s previous unilateral facilitator list proposed by President William Ruto. The call for inclusivity and regional balance underscores the need for consensus in peace mediation processes.

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has expressed its concern regarding Kenya’s aspirational lead role in the mediation process for peace in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This response came as SADC emphasized the necessity for a broader and more inclusive panel of peace facilitators, countering an earlier facilitator list proposed by President William Ruto.

The SADC’s call for a more inclusive approach signals a need for Kenya to reassess its role in DRC mediation. It highlights the complexities of regional diplomacy and the importance of fostering a collaborative environment, essential for effective peace-building efforts.
