This week, we’re focusing on two major events taking place on the African continent. After this past weekend’s summit in Dar-es-Salaam, where the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and East African Community (EAC) gathered to address the DRC conflict, the ceasefire has offered a glimmer of hope. However, with the conflict still ongoing, can these negotiations lead to the lasting peace the region so desperately needs?

 

Meanwhile, in Addis Ababa, African leaders are gathering at the AU headquarters with a key focus on electing a new head of the continental body. And the big question on everyone’s lips is: will Raila Odinga finally seize the moment & take charge?

Our Africa report correspondent. Crystal Orderson joins us to unpack this.
