The Southern African Development Community is a regional economic institution that deals with trade relations, as well as peace and security concerns for many countries in the south, southeast, and central areas of the African continent. SADC has been highly involved with regard to issues of peace and security in Zimbabwe for many years. Now, with the ongoing troubles in DRC, SADC appears to have a full plate . . . perhaps too full. SADC has reached out the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region in order to monitor and deal with the continued conflict in the DRC:
"The meeting noted with appreciation the good collaboration between SADC and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) on the developments in the eastern DRC" (New Era 2013).
To what extent should the conflict(s) in Eastern DRC be handled by regional organizations, specifically REIs? What are the advantages and disadvantages of collaboration between multiple regional organizations with regards to reaching a peaceful solution to inter- and intra-national conflict?
