Congo alleges Kabila planning attack with M23
The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo has accused former President Joseph Kabila of planning a large-scale attack after he announced an alliance with the M23 movement, which is engaged in armed confrontations in the eastern part of the country. It confirmed that Kabila officially decided to carry out an attack against the state, despite authorities being aware of his intentions and plans, as part of a coalition he established to end what he described as tyranny, using means including force. He is set to lead a new entity called "The Front for the Reestablishment of the Nation," with leaders of M23 holding deputy positions alongside him. A court had issued a death sentence in absentia against Kabila a year ago on charges of conspiracy with the movement. Kabila served as the country’s president from 2001 to 2019 and faces allegations of being a founder of the "Nile Congo Alliance," which he denies. Kabila reappeared in May 2025 in the city of Goma in eastern Congo, which was under the control of M23, amid escalating security conflicts in the region.
