Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila announced on the 12th in Goma, the capital of North Kivu province in the eastern part of the country, the formation of an anti-government political and military coalition “National Reconstruction Front”. Its leadership includes several senior members of the anti-government armed “M23 Movement”. The new coalition issued a statement on the same day saying that the “National Reconstruction Front” will replace the “Congo River Union,” a political and military alliance that the “M23 Movement” originally belonged to. Kabila is the chairman of the new coalition, and “Congo River Union” leader Corneye Nanga, “M23 Movement” political leader Bisimwa, and military leader Makenga are vice-chairmen. Kabila was the President of the Congo from 2001 to 2019.
