SADC observers of the Tanzania General Elections have reported that voters in many areas of the country were unable to freely express their will during the recently concluded general election. 

SADC has dismissed claims that its forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo are engaged in joint military operations alongside that country's armed forces, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, and the Wazalendo militia in Goma against the M23 rebel group.

The Chairperson of the SADC Ministerial Committee of the Organ on Politics, Defence, and Security, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwa, acknowledges the significant progress made since the deployment of the SADC Mission in Mozambique.
