The war in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is likely to rekindle the rivalry between former president Joseph Kabila and his successor Félix Tshisekedi.
On April 5, Éric Nkuba, a strategic and political adviser to Alliance Fleuve Congo (AFC) leader Corneille Nangaa, who had been arrested in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and then extradited to Kinshasa, named the former Congolese president as one of the military supporters of the AFC rebels.
