Kabila Leads New Politico-Military Front with M23 in DRC

Former DRC President Joseph Kabila has reportedly assumed leadership of a new politico-military movement, the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), which includes or replaces the M23 rebel group. This development, partially confirmed by multiple sources, signifies a direct escalation of Kabila's role from political opposition to armed insurgency against President Tshisekedi, who faces accusations of seeking a third term. The operational impact and full extent of this new coalition remain uncertain.
