Former DR Congo President Kabila joins M23 rebels in new coalition
Kabila went into self-imposed exile in 2023 before returning to Goma.
Kabila had previously denied having links to the M23 rebel group.
Kabila accused President Tshisekedi's government of disregarding proposals he had put forward, undermining constitutional rule, mismanaging the economy, and failing to improve security.
“Kabila addressed the nation, explaining his plan. People are making comments across the country that this is another level of the conflict,”
