The signing of an agreement aimed at bringing back peace in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo will take place in Addis Ababa on Sunday and it would attract observers from Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Congo Brazzaville, Tanzania, South Africa and Kenya.

Others to attend the signing ceremony include the United Nations (UN) Secretary General Hon. Ban Ki-moon and presidents from Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Angola, South Africa and Tanzania.

The agreement will lay out a security plan for the Democratic Republic of Congo which is expected to tighten the UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

UN has over 19,000 garrisons in the Democratic Republic of Congo and it has been there for the last 12 years. However, despite its presence in Congo, over one million people have lost their lives and property in hands of the rebel groups and government forces fighting in Congo. Some of the rebel groups fighting the government of Joseph Kabila in Congo include M23, FNL, FDLR and ADF-NALU.
