- The trial of Joseph Kabila started on July 26 in Kinshasa’s military court while he remained absent by request.
- Charges include plotting to overthrow President Tshisekedi and involvement in serious crimes linked to the M23 rebel group.
- Accusations also cover treason, homicide, torture, rape, and the forcible occupation of Goma, alongside forming the political wing AFC.
- The hearing was postponed to July 31 as prosecutors requested more time, amid contrasting views from government and rebel leaders.
This proceeding is anything but a fair trial. With a justice system that is not independent, the conviction is already decided – the rest is theatre, a ridiculous staging.— Emmanuel Shadari, Secretary-General of Kabila's People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy (PPRD), regarding the trial against Joseph Kabila.
