SADC TELLS CONGOLESE TO REMAIN CALM

The SADC leadership has called on the people of Democratic Republic Congo -DRC- to remain calm as the Constitutional Court determines the disputed presidential election results.
SADC leaders have also urged DRC political stakeholders to help consolidate democracy and stability in the wake of political unrest triggered by the disputed elections.
This is contained in a joint communique signed at the AU Headquarters in Addis Ababa after the SADC Double Troika that was combined to consider the unstable political situation in the DRC.
SADC leaders have since resolved to continue supporting DRC efforts to address the political challenges as well as neutralize the negative forces in the Eastern DRC.
