Dar es Salaam. As the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) prepare for a joint summit in Tanzania this weekend, the focus is on whether the meeting will yield a breakthrough in the persistent conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The summit, set to bring together key regional leaders, is seen as a new effort to address a crisis that has displaced hundreds of thousands and reignited geopolitical tensions.
