Meeting in Addis Ababa, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, had a crucial exchange with Molly Phee, American Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, on February 18, 2024. This meeting was the opportunity to discuss the worrying security situation in eastern DRC.
The presence of Molly Phee was greeted with optimism by President Tshisekedi, who received assurances of support from the United States to find lasting solutions to the security crisis in this region. The fact that Molly Phee has expressed her understanding of the concerns of the Congolese population marks a positive step in efforts to restore peace and stability.
On the sidelines of the general assembly of the African Union, Félix Tshisekedi also took advantage of his stay in Addis Ababa to hold important audiences, thus demonstrating his commitment to regional and international diplomacy.
Furthermore, the recent deployment of SADC troops in eastern DRC was at the heart of discussions during a tripartite meeting between President Tshisekedi and his South African counterparts Cyril Ramaphosa and Burundian Evariste Ndayishimiye. This regional cooperation highlights the importance of collaboration between different actors to ensure security and prosperity in the region.
The meeting between Molly Phee and Félix Tshisekedi therefore represents a significant step towards resolving the security problems impacting the DRC, and illustrates the importance of international partnerships to guarantee peace and development in the region.
