Kabila leads new politico-military movement to oust Tshisekedi in DRC

Former DRC president Joseph Kabila is reportedly leading a new 'politico-military' movement aimed at replacing the M23 rebels and advancing from eastern Congo to Kinshasa to remove President Tshisekedi, echoing his father's 1997 march. The claim is sourced from a single Belgian outlet and lacks corroboration; if true, it marks a major escalation in DRC's ongoing conflict and regional instability.

This development, while largely unconfirmed by independent sources, marks a significant escalation in Kabila's role from tacit support to direct leadership of an armed insurgency. The operational impact and regional implications remain uncertain.
