Former DR Congo president Kabila loses immunity over alleged M23 rebel ties
|
[RFI.FR] On Thursday, 88 senators voted in favour of lifting Joseph Kabila's immunity; five opposed and three abstained.
Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi alleges Kabila conspired with the Rwanda-backed M23, whose recent offensive has intensified the more than three-decade-long conflict in the east of the country.
Kabila, who has been outside the country since 2023, was not present in the chamber at the time of the vote.
By the vote, "the Senate authorises the prosecution and lifting of Joseph Kabila's immunity," declared the upper house's speaker Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde.
Kabila now faces the prospect of being tried in military courts for "treason, war crimes, crimes against humanity and participation in an insurrectionary movement".
