Peace initiatives in the DRC: regional commitment to stability


**Fatshimétrie: The challenges of the peace process in the DRC**

In the complex context of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the issue of armed groups in the East of the country remains a major challenge for the stability and development of the nation. It is in this context that the visit of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, as sponsor of the Luanda process, is of crucial importance for the region.

Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba spoke about the positive impact of President Kenyatta’s presence in the peace talks. She stressed that this collaboration between Kenya and Angola shows the commitment of the two presidents to work together for lasting solutions to the crisis in the DRC. This complementarity between the Luanda and Nairobi processes offers encouraging prospects for the resolution of armed conflicts in the East of the country.

Nevertheless, challenges remain. The M23 terrorist group, having chosen the armed path, remains on the sidelines of the ongoing negotiations and consultations. It is crucial to find inclusion mechanisms for all actors involved in the peace process in order to ensure a comprehensive and lasting solution to the armed conflicts.

The dynamics of the Nairobi process, in connection with the Luanda process, highlights the importance of regional and international cooperation to resolve conflicts in the DRC. The active participation of President Kenyatta underlines the commitment of neighboring countries to support the DRC in its quest for peace and stability.

In conclusion, the mobilization of regional and international actors, like President Kenyatta, is a significant step towards resolving conflicts in the DRC. It is essential to continue efforts for dialogue, negotiation and inclusion to achieve lasting peace and promote socio-economic development in the region. The peace process in the DRC is part of a collective and concerted approach, where solidarity and regional cooperation are the keys to a peaceful future for all Congolese citizens.
