Summary
Former DR Congo President Joseph Kabila returned to Goma after two years amid allegations of supporting the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group, which has been fighting the Congolese army. His arrival follows the revocation of his immunity by senators and accusations of war crimes and treason against him; Kabila has criticized the justice system as politically exploited. Despite his controversial status, a youth leader from his party welcomed him, while the Congolese government dismissed his claims of a declining democracy, stating he has nothing to offer the country.
