On February 1, EAC Secretary General Peter Mathuki wrote to Congolese Prime Minister Christophe Lutundula, seeking clarification on the deportation of officers, who enjoyed immunity.<\/p>\n<p>Here below, we bring you highlights, in pictures, of how the EAC leaders arrived \u2013 in no particular order \u2013 and were received in Bujumbura, on Saturday morning. Congolese President Fe\u0301lix Tshisekedi was the last to arrive, at noon. South Sudan President Salvar Kiir \u2013 who was hosting Pope Francis \u2013 did not make it to the meeting. President Kiir was represented by Deng Kuol, South Sudan&#8217;s Minister for EAC Affairs. Peter Mathuki, the EAC Secretary General, also attended the Summit.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of the meeting, President Ndayishimiye stressed that &#8220;the main purpose of the meeting is to evaluate the current situation&#8221; in eastern DR Congo with view of coming up with decisions that will ameliorate the security situation and facilitate the restoration of peace and security in eastern DR Congo.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #td_uid_1_6a317b4b1288c  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 {\r\n
