Joseph Kabila is a former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo and the son of Laurent Kabila, who was installed as leader of what became Congo in 1997 after Rwanda and Uganda toppled Mobutu Sese Seko. Joseph Kabila was succeeded by Félix Tshisekedi.
In October 2025 a military court sentenced Kabila, who is probably outside the country, to death for treason. His party has been banned. The Tshisekedi government accuses him of colluding with M23.
On May 26th 2025 Kabila reportedly arrived in Goma, the eastern Congolese city seized by M23, sparking speculation that he is plotting a political comeback.
