EYE ON AFRICA © FRANCE 24

There's hope for peace in the DRC as high-profile talks kick off in Nairobi. Leaders of the East African Community are meeting to plot a path towards the end of a decade-long conflict between rebel groups and Congolese government forces.

Meanwhile, a memorial celebration is followed by tragedy as a landslide on Sunday kills more than a dozen mourners in Cameroon's capital Yaoundé.

Also, African teams have lifted off at the World Cup in Qatar with some excellent results. The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon come back from 3-1 down to draw against Serbia, while Ghana's Black Stars beat South Korea in a five-goal thriller.
