💨 Abstract

A convicted war criminal, Thomas Lubanga, has announced a new rebel movement, the Convention for the Popular Revolution (CPR), aiming to overthrow the government in eastern Congo's Ituri province. This comes as Congo's army faces advancing M23 rebels. Lubanga, released in 2020 after serving time for recruiting child soldiers, claims the CPR has both political and military elements, with armed men in three areas of Ituri.
