Southern African Development Community (SADC) leaders will hold a summit meeting on Sunday in the Mozambique capital, Maputo, to discuss the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), officials told IRIN on Friday.
The summit, to be held behind closed doors, was called by Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano in his capacity as SADC chairman. Officials said Chissano had decided to call the meeting because regional leaders will be in Maputo at the weekend for his inauguration following his victory in last month’s general elections. Diplomats said the leaders would discuss implementation of 10 July Lusaka ceasefire accord.
