💨 Abstract

Congolese authorities have requested the senate to lift former President Joseph Kabila's immunity to prosecute him for supporting a rebel insurgency in eastern Congo. Kabila, who led Congo from 2001 to 2019, is accused of treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The conflict escalated in January, resulting in thousands of deaths and displacing millions.
