President Yoweri Museveni welcomed the AU-EAC-SADC Panel of Facilitators, led by Togo's President Faure Gnassingbé, along with figures like former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Uhuru Kenyatta, and others, for consultations on stabilizing eastern DRC. The panel, formed last year after M23 rebels took Goma in early 2025, aims to bridge gaps between Congo, Rwanda, and neighbors amid displacement and resource conflicts. No breakthroughs emerged from Tuesday's meeting at State House, but leaders emphasized coordinated African efforts for sustainable peace, with Uganda playing a key role due to its troops in the region.
