Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila on Monday announced a new politico-military alliance with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, despite being sentenced to death in absentia for alleged complicity with the group. The move comes as debate rages over constitutional changes ahead of President Felix Tshishkadi's final term, which ends in 2028.
