À la Une : Kabila sort du bois
Summary
This episode of Revue de presse Afrique focuses on former DRC President Joseph Kabila’s return to the political-military front alongside the M23 rebels under the new Front for the Refondation de la Nation. The segment analyzes how this move allows Rwanda to obscure its role in the conflict and evade international sanctions by framing the rebellion as an internal Congolese issue. It also covers the political tensions between Kabila and current President Tshisekedi, who accuses the former leader of fomenting an armed insurrection.
