The president of the African Union considered that the deterioration of the situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRCongo) "destabilizes the country" and defended efforts to make the country "a source of happiness and not of conflict".
Azali Assoumani, who was speaking at the opening of the Quadripartite Summit of Heads of State and Government on the pacification of eastern DR Congo, taking place in Luanda, said that the prevailing situation "is a concern of the region, the continent and the rest of the world".
High-level representatives of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the East African Community (EAC), the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICRGL) and the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS ) participate in this summit in Luanda.
The African leader recalled that the DRCongo is a country rich in diverse resources, but that the local populations live in extreme poverty, mainly because of the conflict, considering that the regional blocs must be actors of peace and stability.
