The Southern African Development Community (SADC) is ending its military mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), marking a new chapter in peacekeeping. This shift shows that leaders now believe in using diplomacy and humanitarian efforts instead of just military force to create lasting peace. After a tough year with many casualties, including 14 soldiers, SADC leaders gathered to discuss their next steps. They are committed to supporting the DRC through peaceful solutions, recognizing that true stability comes from addressing the roots of conflict and working together for a brighter future.
