Congo moves to strip ex-president Kabila of immunity over M23 links
Former DR Congo president Joseph Kabila who has been spared from testifying in a case in which his administration is accused of killing two rights activists while in a police cell.
Democratic Republic of Congo has launched a bid to strip former President Joseph Kabila of immunity so he can face trial on charges of supporting the M23 insurgency in the country's east, where the government is seeking to draft a peace deal this week.
Kabila, who agreed to step down in 2018 after almost two decades in power, has been out of the country since late 2023, mostly in South Africa. He said last month he would return to help find a solution to the crisis in the east, where Rwandan-backed M23 rebels have seized large areas this year.
