Belgium Condemns Kabila-M23 Alliance as DRC Rebel Coalition Forms

Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot publicly condemned the alliance between former DRC President Joseph Kabila and the M23 rebel group, announced via Kabila's new politico-military movement, the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (RFN). This marks a significant escalation in DRC's political crisis, as a former head of state aligns with an armed rebel group, potentially reshaping regional dynamics. The condemnation signals Western diplomatic pressure, but the operational extent of the alliance and its impact on DRC's conflict remain uncertain.
