Kenya’s fourth President Uhuru Kenyatta has arrived in Lomé, Togo, to join a high-level African delegation aimed at advancing the peace process in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

In a statement shared on X on Thursday, January 15, 2026, the Office of the 4th President said Kenyatta travelled alongside other co-facilitators, all of whom are former heads of state.

“His ExcellencyPresident Uhuru Kenyatta has arrived in Lomé, Togo, alongside fellow co-facilitators former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo (Nigeria), Sahle-Work Zewde (Ethiopia), Catherine Samba-Panza (Central African Republic) and Mokgweetsi Masisi (Botswana),” part of the statement issued by the Office of the 4th president reads.

The delegation was received by Togo’s Foreign Minister ahead of planned discussions to mediate ongoing conflicts in eastern DRC, where insecurity has displaced communities and disrupted regional stability.

“Kenyatta was received by Togo’s Foreign Minister, Robert Dussey, ahead of a working session on the AU-led mediation for the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) peace process,” the statement reads.

Also present at the opening engagements was the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, reflecting the continental body’s commitment to resolving the crisis.

“Also present is the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf,” the statement reads.

The session marks a continuation of efforts by African leaders to create a roadmap for sustainable peace, strengthen dialogue among local stakeholders, and support the DRC government in addressing insecurity in its eastern provinces.

President Kenyatta and the delegation aim to bolster stability, facilitate humanitarian access, and promote lasting solutions for communities affected by decades of unrest in eastern DRC.
