Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila has reemerged from self-imposed exile, making a public appearance in Goma, a city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) currently under the control of the M23 rebel group. This marks his first public engagement since leaving the country in 2023. www.multilinks.biz
Kabila’s return follows the recent lifting of his parliamentary immunity by the Congolese Senate, a move that opens the door for potential prosecution on serious charges, including treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The government accuses him of supporting the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, who have been active in the region. www.multilinks.biz
In Goma, Kabila met with religious leaders and local figures, expressing a desire to contribute to peace efforts in the conflict-ridden eastern DRC. He denied any affiliations with the M23 group and criticized the current government’s handling of the conflict, calling for an inclusive national dialogue to address the ongoing crisis. www.multilinks.biz
His presence in a rebel-held area has raised concerns among international observers and the Congolese government, potentially complicating ongoing peace negotiations and efforts to stabilize the region. www.multilinks.biz
The situation remains fluid, with Kabila’s return adding a new dimension to the complex political and security landscape in the DRC.
