Description
On October 12, 2026, former president Joseph Kabila launched the Front pour la Refondation de la Nation from Goma, replacing AFC-M23, with Corneille Nangaa, Bertrand Bisimwa, Freddy Kaniki and Sultani Makenga in leadership roles. Kabila is defying a death sentence handed down in absentia in 2025, US sanctions followed in April 2026, alleged Rwandan backing is denied by Rwanda, and the Qatar peace process continues.
