# Ex-president Joseph Kabila was back in the Democratic Republic of Congo yesterday, meeting local leaders in Goma, an eastern city seized by the Rwanda-backed M23 militia. Kabila’s appearance comes despite the former president facing the possibility of a treason trial over his alleged support for the M23. Felix Tshisekedi, his successor as the Democratic Republic of Congo’s president, accuses Kabila of being the brains behind the armed group, which has seized swathes of the resource-rich Congolese east with Rwanda’s help.
