💨 Abstract
Congo's senate voted to lift former President Joseph Kabila's parliamentary immunity, allowing his prosecution for alleged support of a rebel insurgency in the east. Kabila faces charges of treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The conflict in eastern Congo escalated with M23 rebels seizing key cities. Human Rights Watch reported abuses by Congolese army-backed militias. President Felix Tshisekedi accused Kabila of supporting the rebels, a claim Kabila denies.
