SADC concerned about security in DRC

An extraordinary summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) is under way in Harare, Zimbabwe to discuss and find solutions to the security situation the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as the political unrest in Mozambique.

Ministers of Defence including those responsible for foreign affairs convened on Sunday ahead of the Heads of States Summit on Wednesday.

The summit comes at a time when Zimbabwean President Emerson Mnangagwa, who is expected to chair the gathering, was one of the first heads of state to congratulate Chapo and Frelimo on electoral victory even before the Mozambique electoral body announced official results.

Although the regional block highlighted DRC as their main agenda, political analysts say regional leaders can no longer afford to turn a blind eye to the post election violence unfolding in Mozambique.
