Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi snubbed a meeting convened by President William Ruto to discuss the security crisis in his country but confirmed attendance of a separate meeting convened by southern African countries, putting into doubt his commitment to the East African Community (EAC) bloc.
President Ruto had called the Extraordinary Summit of the EAC Heads of State in his capacity as chair of the regional bloc.
