Kabila Joins a Front That Includes the Rwandan-Backed AFC/M23 Coalition

Former DR Congo president Joseph Kabila has joined a new political-military front that brings together the Rwandan-backed AFC/M23 coalition, Deutsche Welle reports. Analysts say the move could reshape opposition to President Felix Tshisekedi. That is a possibility rather than a settled outcome, and it is the kind of judgement that only gets tested over time. What the alignment does immediately is put a former head of state's name on the same banner as an armed coalition, in a country where the line between political opposition and military pressure has rarely held still.
