The leaders of two major African groups met in Tanzania today. They aim to bring peace to the eastern Congo.
Zimbabwe's President Mnangagwa led the talks. He said this meeting showed how African nations wanted to work together and was a big step toward the African Union's goals.
"We must take strong actions to stop the fighting in Africa," Mnangagwa said. "We need to help eastern Congo right away."
The fighting in Congo has hurt many people. It affects not just Congo but other African lands as well. Armed groups have taken control of towns in eastern Congo.
Congo's President Tshisekedi joined the meeting through video. Rwanda's President Kagame and Uganda's President Museveni came to the talks in person.
The southern African group joined with east African nations to find answers. They plan to share their choices later today.
These talks mark a new push for peace in central Africa. The leaders hope their work will help end years of hard times in Congo.
