DRC accuses ex-president Kabila of plotting armed attack with M23

The DRC government alleges that former President Joseph Kabila has allied with the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group to launch a large-scale offensive against government forces. This marks a significant escalation, implicating a former head of state in an armed insurgency. The claim is unverified and likely politically charged, but if true, it would deepen the ongoing conflict in eastern DRC and complicate regional diplomacy.
