Speaking as SADC chairperson of the organ for politics, defence and security, President Lungu said SADC has always been ready to work with the government of the DRC to restore peace in the country and in the region.
He noted that the internal conflict that has rocked the DRC for many decades has negatively affected neighbouring countries politically and economically.
President Lungu observed that close cooperation with the United Nations and with the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region is indispensable to the attainment of lasting peace in the DRC and the region.
He was speaking in Kampala, Uganda today, when he addressed the 9th High Level Meeting of the Regional Oversight Committee for the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Region.
And Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni , says while African countries do not believe in meddling in the affairs of other countries, time has come for African countries to help bring peace to the DRC.
General Museveni says the political instability in the DRC has persisted for so long that it has affected not only civilians in that country but also neighbouring countries and the region.
Speaking at the same function, Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary General, Said Djinnit, encouraged the AU, International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, SADC and the UN to ensure regional cooperation in tackling longstanding challenges in
arts of the eastern DRC.
Is it just me? Lungu does not still look Presidential enough!
I hate hypocrites!!! This is the same guy and his cohorts causing havoc in Zambia, but speaking like that to others. Him and Museveni should be tha last ones to speak like that. I truly hate hypocrites!!!!
He looks more like a hostage. Maybe drunkards have no potential to assert themselves. The kama little man Kaizar appears to control the situation around Lungu, that is what I am saying. All other Heads of state in the past in Zambia had an individualism about themselves and maybe that is why Zambia had some sort of direction, even a wrong direction. The case of Lungu is a chipante pante and it’s clear why. People like Kaizar Zulu just filled the lack of vision vacuum! Hence the chaos! wake up Zambians, smell the coffee.
What is family relationship of Kaizer and Ba Edgar, why risk being with that thug, the expert in conflict and security in Lusaka. That work relationship make my hair stand.
It’s beggar’s belief what Lungu has done and he keeps getting away with it! Michael Cilufya Sata did not want chaps like Kaizar. Brian Hapunda and Emmanuel anywhere near him and his party. People like Dora and RB were all wrong for Sata’s cause for the poor Zambians, the premise on which he formed PF. Now suddenly some of these are so near. if not even control the PF government that Sata fought to form. Why Lungu why? Why have Zambians also allowed this to happen?
@Analyser, looks are deceiving. He is in control, whether you like it or not. It takes a sober mind, purpose and objectivity to run the office of the president and chair the southern African community. Even when haters have to hate, respect is due.
What is Kaiser Zulu doing there? Criminals who eat dinner at 03:00hrs in the morning should not be allowed there!!!
@Nine Chale, I will not respond to any of what you have said because I might make you seem like you are making sense. I will just refer you to my other posting in 1.4 and please do not even respond to any of my posting now or ever again.
@Chale ninshi ifi, kutukwa ulefwaya or you are insulting? Which Southern Africa, you mean the 3 leaders present at Museveni’s house?
Sober mind. Iwe sure, have ever seen in drunk??? Ati sober…. @Chale
There he is …absolutely no priorities…Zambia has no president these are wasted years!
LOOKS LIKE A BUNCH OF DIAMOND DEALERS RATHER THAN PEACE MAKERS.
Kano ba u5 ebalemoneka chachine kikikiki tribal logic
Imbifi
Really laughable ..and foooools will all go to KKIA to welcome him as if its village welcoming its son from completing studies abroad in medicine or a soldier returning from war.
Some tribal representatives will NEVER be in that position of HONOR! They will continue to be bitter because the president is not from their CLAN! HAZALUZA HAGAIN because he is an UNDER FIVE and Mental.
Zambia has no H-opposition leader ONLY a TONGA GROUPING & GATHERING of the WICKED.
Decade long conflicts in DRC has negatively affected neighbouring countries. very very very True Mr.President but don’t you think you need to speak on the current issues affecting your nation?Sort your very own problesm here first Cause if this continues, take for instance an innocent soul at UNZA has gone just like that (MHSRIP) and all u had to say was no comment?? Don’t you think this provokes anarchy in the sense that you are not protecting your own citizens against internal police brutality??and in the near future, Zambia might be in conflict and tending to affect other nations also. Don’t you think it starts like that??
One guy was beaten years Ha-go but it is still whining! He has already addressed it but it is CHILDISH! It cant get it! How many times have we Ha-ddressed you and you still can’t get it? MAD COW DISEASE needs a special medicine – JESUS.
Look at the f**k by ba Jona’s side no wonder it scandal after scandal.
Who in his right mind chooses such an accomplice.
They are not worth advising they are on political death wish,take out your pop corns and watch as they drive themselves off the cliff….
Really laughable….no wonder UNZA is rotting simply look at who is sitting next to Lazy…Kz himself former Lab Assistant.
A dullard advised by fellow empty tins and beer friends.
Laughing gas disease. LAZY BUM illiterate hooligan bully UPND tribal Chief Mapatizya Formula strategist son of a polygamist father who NEVER taught him toilet training needing a diaper in public HAGAIN! It is UNELECTABLE boy!
Afric amost of us are jokers thts the problem
@4 Sniper. INDEED WE ARE JOKERS!! What can Kaizer Zulu advice politically on the complicated DRC issue, an empty tin who hardly understands anything on international relations apart from Zambian “komoboni” violence??. What is Museveni talking about when himself and Kagame are hugely responsible for some of the militia that have repeatedly attacked and looted the DRC??What peace can they bring when they are the real winners from the suffering of the Congo and its people!!
Lungu originates from East Africa, that’s why he likes travelling to Uganda and Rwanda time and again. He is far from being a Zambian. No wonder he has no love for the Zambian people.
He enjoys seeing us in miserly in our own country.
HH originates from South Africa that is why he likes to have his MPs go there and he addresses their gatherings and asks them to topple an elected government in Zambia! If that is not MENTAL, tell me what it is! The little boy doesn’t know how to run an opposition party and has no clue what he is doing that is why his tribe mates Ha Ha-ngry.
Ifi welewele, can’t solve ur problems in ur house bt u want to try solve ur neighbours problem. Useless bapompwe
Why does Kaiser Zulu look so baffled, confused? The advisor is looking confused
Ask your dull President …who has run away from problems when Old Hen Bo Inonge could have done this
The most dull party president I know is UNDER FIVE. He has no idea how to bring up issues to win the people to himself the only H-agenda they have are TRIBALISM and SATANISM.
What can KZ advise about international relations ?
They are looking for bussiness , nothing else.
Unelectable because he is CHILDISH and an UNDER FIVE. Sorry I almost forgot has THREE MANSIONS too!
Say Lungu who has allowed conflicts between Zambians and gun totting Chinese to negatively affect his own country. Heal thy racially conflicted country 1st Lungu .
HH has allowed conflicts in Namwala where Namwalans beat up people from other parts of Zambia who Ha not Tonga! No sane Zambian will ever forgot that.
Another talk shop – with dictators at the top.
