Leaders of the East African Community met in Kenya, five days after the Bujumbura summit in the midst of ongoing hostilities between the Congolese army and M23 rebels.
The immediate ceasefire decided at the East African Community (EAC) summit on 4 February turned out to be an empty promise. Clashes between the Congolese army (FARDC) and M23 rebels resumed in the wake of the meeting convened by Évariste Ndayishimiye. The fighting continues to cause significant population displacements in Masisi territory, where the fighting has been concentrated for several weeks.
