Congo suspends former president Joseph Kabila’s political party
Former Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila attends a memorial service for Namibia’s first democratically elected president, Sam Nujoma, in Windhoek, Namibia, on February 28, 2025.
Democratic Republic of Congo suspended former President Joseph Kabila's political party and ordered his assets seized over accusations of supporting Rwandan-backed rebels in the east, the government said.
The 53-year-old, who ruled from 2001-2019 and only stepped down after deadly protests against him, has said he wants to return to Congo to help seek a solution to the war.
