Former President Joseph Kabila broke his silence on the ongoing talk of reviewing the constitution of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). But he sees the project as a personal ambition of his successor Felix Tshisekedi.

The former head of state, who has been living outside the country for over a year, met opposition leader Moïse Katumbi in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Thursday. Both expressed opposition to constitutional reform in the DRC.
