SADC to hold emergency talks on DR Congo

SADC to hold emergency talks on DR of Congo in Malawi The Southern African Development Community (SADC) is to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in mid-January, Malawi President Bakili Muluzi said on December 5, saying his country would host the meeting. „There is need for continued efforts if genuine peace is to be ensured in the DRC,“ Muluzi told journalists in the northern city of Mzuzu after holding talks with former Botswana leader Ketumile Masire. Muluzi took over the rotating chairmanship of the 14 member community in August and has launched peace bids in Angola and the DRC, which are both members of the regional grouping. (MAIL & GUARDIAN)
