African leaders agreed on the consolidation of two regional peace initiatives aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

This agreement was reached during the Joint East African Community and the Southern African Development Community (EAC-SADC) Summit at State House, Dar es Salaam, over the weekend.

The two initiatives known as Nairobi Process and Luanda Process were founded to bring an end to the on and off war in DRC.
