Joseph Kabila Claims Mandate Hijacked

breaking RFI Monde Kinshasa 12d6d Impact 8

Kabila, who led the DRC from 2001 to 2019, is now on a blacklist of individuals facing US economic sanctions. Kabila stated the sanctions are unjustified and politically motivated. The source did not provide specific details regarding the nature of the sanctions or the recent military court judgment. The announcement was reported by RFI Afrique and RFI Monde. No specific reasons for the sanctions were provided in the broadcast. The presidential party in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is organizing a demonstration in the streets of Kinshasa this Monday. Kabila has been accused by China, according to the report. The demonstration occurs amid the administration of Félix Tshisekedi. The move is intended to hold the former leader accountable, though commentators noted the importance of him answering to Congolese justice and the Congolese people.
