Uganda: Museveni Urges Dialogue to End Conflict in Eastern DR Congo During Meeting With EU Envoy

What the report says

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has renewed his appeal for dialogue to help end the conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to Nile Post via AllAfrica. He made the comments during a meeting at State House in Entebbe with Johan Borgstam, the European Union Special Representative for the Great Lakes Region, where the two discussed regional peace and security, with a focus on the fighting in eastern DRC.

Museveni said the parties involved should abandon threats and hostilities and instead pursue talks, arguing that continued violence is deepening the suffering of Congolese civilians. He also said the people of the DRC should be able to shape their future through peaceful political processes.

Borgstam praised Museveni’s regional experience and said the EU delegation had come to seek his guidance on security challenges in the Great Lakes region. The meeting also included EU Ambassador to Uganda Jan Sadek, Deputy Head of Delegation Eole Sury, and political adviser Tristan Terryn.

The report adds to the wider diplomatic discussion around instability in eastern DRC, where armed conflict has persisted for years and drawn concern from regional and international actors. The article does not provide a new policy announcement, but it highlights Uganda’s continued emphasis on negotiation over military pressure.
