Kabila launches politico-military coalition backed by Rwanda in eastern DRC

Former DRC president Joseph Kabila announced the creation of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN) on October 12, taking leadership of a politico-military coalition reportedly supported by Rwanda, which has controlled large parts of eastern Congo since January 2024. This marks a significant escalation in Kabila's political opposition, aligning him with armed groups and a foreign power, potentially destabilizing the region. The claim of Rwandan support is sourced from AFP and remains unverified independently.
