Ex-President Kabila Set To Make Comeback In The Democratic Republic Of Congo - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines
Former President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo announced on April 8 that he would return to the country after six years of silence and one year in exile, citing the worsening security situation in eastern Congo. He had suspended his studies in South Africa in March to focus on the crisis, where the AFC/M23 rebels, now controlling Goma and Bukavu, have been battling government forces for over three years. Kabila, who left office in 2019, accused President Félix Tshisekedi of mishandling the conflict and relying on foreign intervention rather than internal dialogue. Kabila said he had met with various presidents and former presidents in the region as well as Congolese politicians and that he would return to his country through the eastern part, which has been volatile for three decades. The conflict in eastern DR Congo escalated in January after the AFC/M23 rebels took control of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, before seizing Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu, in mid-February.
