[HIGHLIGHTS] Eastern DRC: Southern African Community commits to deploy troops

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) met on Monday (May 8th) in Namibia for the summit of the Troika. Chaired by Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi, SADC promised in a statement to send troops to eastern DRC, without specifying the date or number of contingents.

"We must replace the troops of the East African force," confided a person close to the presidency, "but with a more offensive mandate this time, we need more interposition force"
