The African Union has welcomed the resolutions of the East African community in efforts to stabilize Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
In a meeting held in Nairobi, the EAC leaders last week, urged rebel groups in DR-Congo to cease fire and were invited for talks in Kenya.
The leaders resolved that should the armed groups not heed to the call for dialogue, they will deploy a regional force to maintain peace and stability.
The African Union Commission has endorsed the decision by East African Community leaders to deploy in DR-Congo in case negotiations fail.
In a statement by the Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat has commended the leaders for the common efforts in finding a sustainable solution to the instability in Eastern DR-Congo and the Great Lakes region.
