Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Seven African heads of state gathered in Kinshasa on Thursday to assess a 2013 agreement aimed at cementing peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s violence-torn east and the Great Lakes region.<\/p>\n

The Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework aims at fostering efforts to stabilize the region. Millions of people died from violence, disease or starvation in the 1996-7 and 1998-2003 Congo Wars — a conflict that enmeshed countries from around east and central Africa.<\/p>\n

The Kinshasa summit, the 10th in the series, brought together the presidents of the DRC, South Africa, Uganda, Angola, the Republic of Congo, Burundi and the Central African Republic, a diplomat said.<\/p>\n

The summit was expected to express concern about logistical and other support for armed groups that remain active in the region. It would “take note” of joint DRC-Ugandan operations against the most notorious group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), the diplomat said.<\/p>\n

The historic operation was launched in the border area late last November, prompted by a string of massacres in eastern DRC and bomb attacks in the Ugandan capital Kampala.<\/p>\n

The summit would also congratulate improved relations between Rwanda and Uganda and between Rwanda and Burundi after a long period of tension. The 2013 accord was eventually signed by a total of 11 countries, including Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania and Zambia. The next summit will be hosted in 2023 by Burundi.<\/p>\n
