Analysis - The African Union lacks a coherent strategy that can reduce tensions between countries and improve security coordination.
The Africa n Union lacks a coherent strategy that can reduce tensions between countries and improve security coordination.
The Nairobi Process, led by Kenya's former president Uhuru Kenyatta under the auspices of the East African Community , included military and diplomatic efforts. The deployment of the EAC Regional Force from November 2022 to December 2023a short-lived ceasefire among the warring parties and partially opened some supply routes. It also helped return displaced people in certain areas.
In December 2023, the Southern African Development Community Mission in the DRC entered the fray, taking up the responsibilities left by the departing East Africa force. So far, the mission has had a shaky start. A shortage of financial resources and logistical and operational limitations suggest it might suffer a similar fate as the East African Regional Force.
Despite this progress, a Luanda Process meeting on the sidelines of the 37th AU summit in February revealed mistrust and a lack of buy-in of its initiatives. Efforts to encourage direct talks between Tshisekedi and Rwandan President Paul Kagame caused animosity between the two. And although they eventually agreed to further diplomatic engagements, accusations between Kigali and Kinshasa continue to impede dialogue.
