# Former Democratic Republic of Congo president Joseph Kabila has reportedly arrived in territory held by rebels of the M23 and Allied Revolutionary Coalition. This comes days after the Senate lifted his immunity to face treason and war crimes charges. The rebels hailed Kabila as a soldier of the people, declaring his presence a boost to their uprising. Kinshasa is expected to respond strongly, calling the move an open rebellion. Uganda reportedly blocked Kabila’s border entry, citing regional security risks. The development threatens to escalate tensions across eastern Congo and beyond.
