Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat was in Rwanda to participate in the National Security Symposium, a gathering of experts focused on discussing practical solutions to security challenges in Africa.
The symposium, organized by the Rwanda Defence Force Command and Staff College (RDFCSC) in collaboration with the University of Rwanda (UR), commenced on Wednesday.
The ongoing conflict between the Congolese Army (FARDC) and the M23 rebel group is among key security challenges facing the region.
The African Union had assigned Angola as the mediator, but the process has faced setbacks due to the Congolese government’s decision to pursue a military option instead of peaceful dialogues, despite recommendations for the latter.
Before his visit to Rwanda, Moussa Faki Mahamat also attended a summit in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, two weeks ago.
The summit aimed to address security problems in the region and emphasized the need to strengthen existing mechanisms to find a lasting solution for peace in eastern Congo.
