The European Union on Saturday urged Rwanda to stop supporting the M23 rebel group, which has captured swathes of territory in North Kivu province in neighbouring DR Congo.
The EAC regional force is expected to include soldiers from Kenya, Burundi, Uganda and South Sudan.
This was a relief to a country that has been embroiled in bloody conflict for nearly 30 years.
The rebels initially detained around 50 people accused of collaborating with two anti-M23 militias.
