Joseph Kabila, the former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to information, the 54-year-old former president supported the M23 armed group, backed by neighboring Rwanda, and acted against the government. In particular, it was revealed that Kabila was in Goma, the administrative center of North Kivu province controlled by M23, in May.
Following this event, Kabila's lifetime senatorial mandate was revoked at the government's initiative. In July, a trial against the former president began.
Experts believe that although the sentence has been issued, the likelihood of Kabila actually being arrested is low. The trial reflects the complex situation related to Congo's internal politics and armed groups in the region.
The accusation and sentencing of the former president have led to increased attention to issues of national security, cooperation with armed groups, and the rule of law in the country. At the same time, the international community is closely monitoring this sentence and regional security matters.
These events have caused a significant resonance in Congo's political arena and intensified discussions about the accountability of former leaders in the country.
