Actualite.cd: DRC: Joseph Kabila announced as head of a new politico-military movement in Goma

Joseph Kabila, former president of the DRC, is leading the Front for the Rebuilding of the Nation (FRN), a new political-military movement established in Goma, with Corneille Nangaa and Bertrand Bisimwa as vice-presidents, and Sultani Makenga as chief of staff. The creation of the FRN is part of a reorganization related to AFC/M23, as noted in a UN report from June 2026, which mentions internal disagreements and potential expansion of military operations. The alliance has sparked political tensions, especially with the ruling majority and President Tshisekedi, who had previously warned about Kabila’s alleged links to AFC/M23.
