Former President Joseph Kabila is now facing serious accusations of colluding with Rwanda to destabilize Congo’s institutions, a story reported by BETO and further analyzed by XTRAfrica
A confidential Senate report points to possible coordination between Kabila and Rwanda’s government, with alleged links to the rebel group M23/AFC and secret meetings in Goma.
If confirmed, this could be one of the biggest betrayals in Congolese history
Senate Report Exposes Kabila’s Shadow Dealings
A confidential report from the Congolese Senate, revealed by RFI, shows strong evidence that Kabila may have secretly partnered with Rwanda to weaken President Félix Tshisekedi’s government. Investigators say he provided financial and logistical support to M23/AFC rebels, a militia already known to receive arms and training from Rwanda.
His recent trips to Goma and “hostile countries” are now seen as efforts to coordinate with Kigali.
Kabila called for an “end to tyranny” a statement that some now believe was code for an uprising.
The Kabila – Kagame Criminal Alliance
For years, Paul Kagame has been accused of fueling chaos in eastern Congo to steal minerals, control trade routes, and weaken Congolese sovereignty. Now, suspicions that Kabila helped him do it from the inside are raising alarm.
If true, Kabila could be Rwanda’s “inside man,” aiding M23 rebels to spark civil unrest while hiding behind political speeches about democracy.
