The DRC has suspended former President Joseph Kabila's political party for alleged treason due to ties with the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group. Kabila is accused of preparing an insurrection as violence escalates in eastern DRC, notably in areas like Goma and Bukavu. His assets are to be seized pending legal proceedings, which raises questions about the constitutionality of this action. Kabila's spokesperson indicated that he plans to address the nation, while party members argue this suspension infringes upon democratic principles. The ongoing conflict is rooted in historical tensions dating back to Rwanda's genocide and affects thousands of displaced citizens.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo's Interior Ministry announced the suspension of former President Joseph Kabila's party, citing high treason charges linked to alleged ties with the M23 rebel group.
