Former Congolese president on trial for treason
Former Congolese president Joseph Kabila faces treason trial for allegedly supporting rebels. Accused by successor President Félix Tshisekedi, Kabila also faces charges of murder and rape linked to the M23 rebels. The trial is ongoing despite a ceasefire deal with the rebels, as Kabila denies the charges amid claims of political suppression.
