Former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo Joseph Kabila has been appointed as the leader of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), a rebel coalition challenging President Félix Tshisekedi's administration. The coalition, comprising former AFC/M23 alliance leaders, including M23 military leader Sultani Makenga, targets corruption, economic mismanagement, insecurity, and the weakening of democratic institutions.
Kabila, who ruled from 2001 to 2019, faces a death sentence in absentia for treason. The move comes as fighting persists in eastern Congo and peace talks stall.
