A top official from the Democratic Republic of Congo says African nations need to band together to address the worsening crisis in the eastern part of his country. Minister Floribert Anzuluni Isilokovetshi delivered that message in Harare after meeting with President Mnangagwa. He was sent as a special envoy by Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi to brief regional leaders.
The minister outlined two current peace processes. One involves agreements signed with Rwanda in Washington. The other is ongoing talks in Doha with the M23 rebel group, which Congo alleges receives Rwandan backing. He stated Tshisekedi's commitment to a peaceful resolution but stressed that any lasting solution must involve other African countries directly.
The envoy's visit to Zimbabwe is part of a broader diplomatic tour that has included stops in Burundi, Congo-Brazzaville, and Togo, with planned trips to Zambia and South Africa. The goal is to rally continental support for stabilizing the region.
