Algeria welcomes the outcomes of the joint summit of the East African Community and the Southern African Development Community on the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Algeria welcomes the conclusions of the Joint Summit of the East African Community and the Southern African Development Community on the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

It endorses the unanimous call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and for an end to military hostilities in eastern DRC. It welcomes, in particular, the unification of the Nairobi and Luanda processes, which now allows for a comprehensive, coherent and integrated treatment of the conflict in the DRC.

Algeria hopes that the voice of wisdom that emerged from this Joint Summit and the sense of responsibility that characterized its work will finally allow the launch of a sincere and credible dialogue within the framework of the new unified Nairobi/Luanda process with a view to restoring peace, security and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in the Great Lakes region as a whole.

Together with the other African representatives in the Security Council, within the framework of the A3+, Algeria stands ready to extend, support and strengthen the support of the international community for this unified process aimed at a peaceful, just and lasting settlement of the conflict in the DRC.

Algeria, committed to peace, human rights and development, has a long record of resolving conflicts through peaceful means, and professionalism in resolving conflicts and freeing hostages.
