Former President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday, April 17, hosted a delegation from the European Institute of Peace (EIP) led by Senior Advisor Hilde F. Johnson, as part of ongoing efforts to address the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

According to his communications team, he also held talks with Freddy Nkurikiye, a Peace and Security Advisor to Faure Gnassingbé.

Both meetings were held at his Gatundu residence.

Kenyatta remains a key figure in regional peace efforts as the Facilitator of the East African Community-led Nairobi Peace Process, where he has been spearheading dialogue between the DRC government and various armed groups.

His role has involved convening high-level negotiations, coordinating regional stakeholders, and pushing for ceasefire agreements and political settlements aimed at restoring stability in the volatile eastern region.

Through the Nairobi Peace Process, Kenyatta has been working to build consensus among conflicting parties while supporting broader regional and international initiatives to address the humanitarian and security crisis in the DRC.
