What does Joseph Kabila's return mean for #DRC's war? In a new post for @AfricaDemocracy with Ben Muhoza and @jimkamene , we argue how his return gives the rebellion greater political ambition, but how this delivery leaves many open questions democracyinafrica.org/the-re… (1/5)
Kabila faces major political obstacles. His authoritarian legacy and association with Rwanda-backed M23 limit his national appeal. His return also complicates prospects for national dialogue: including him is controversial, but excluding him could undermine peace efforts. (4/5)
Lastly, kabila's arrival could also sharpen internal M23 tensions, particularly between those focused on eastern Congo and those seeking regime change in Kinshasa. Read the full post here: democracyinafrica.org/the-re… (5/5)
It's been a number of years since this happened; but another Rwandan dissident killed in Uganda - this time in a particularly gruesome manner, through beheading. #Uganda #Rwanda
The murder of Sgt Maj Robert Kabera, an Ex-Rwandan soldier on asylum protection in Uganda, marks the first known incident since Uganda and Rwanda normalised relations in 2022.
Targeting of Rwandans in Uganda triggered tensions between the two countries.

Rentrée académique 2026-27:L'archevêque de Bukavu interpelle le gouvernement et le FRN :"N'utilisez pas l'éducation et tout le social comme arme de guerre ou champ de bataille pour vos règlements des comptes. Soyez des parents responsables soucieux de l'avenir de la Patrie". @StanysBujakera @PatrickMuyaya @peroluwara1 @Presidence_RDC @LitsaniChoukran
Following searches of residences belonging to the Tshisekedi family over allegations of money laundering, President Tshisekedi instructed his cabinet to avoid any direct or indirect contact with the Belgian Embassy in the #DRC.
#RDC Après plusieurs #perquisitions dans des résidences appartenant à des proches de Félix #Tshisekedi en #Belgique, la Présidence interdit à l'ensemble des membres du cabinet « tout contact direct ou indirect avec l'ambassade de Belgique en RDC ». Aucun motif n’est indiqué pour justifier cette décision.

I wrote this piece long before this war broke out arguing that Emirati land grabs in Sudan are about much more than food security but rather a strategy of empire-making and sub-imperial ambition in the region. It is based on research in the Gezira from 2013-2018

New #OpenAccess article alert! Check out "Land, Gendered Labor, and Empire-Making in Central Sudan" by Nisrin Elamin. #Anthropology

Excellent opinion in @newhumanitarian "Hyper-prioritisation no longer makes sense. Here’s why" - and "The humanitarian system has experienced the financial equivalent of the Great Depression." thenewhumanitarian.org/opini…
Fascinating and very necessary report by @peer_schouten on how the war in Eastern #DRC also is about regional trade control-with excellent graphs, such as the two below, showing how Eastern DRC has become an economic lifeline for its neighbouring countries diis.dk/en/research/congos-r…
That very much looks like an AI photograph.. #Uganda

The fact is that Africa's most powerful military bombed a bunch of poor, defenseless civilians trying to scratch an existence out of the earth. The cruel irony is that much of they gold they were laboring to mine was going to pass through Egyptian middlemen to the benefit of the Egyptian economy. This comes as Egypt claims to be defending Sudanese interests on the world stage and within the Quad and Quint, but that should not mean that Egypt can bomb Sudan and its citizens with impunity. Longterm Sudan has to get out from under the shadow (thumb?) of Cairo. Despicable stuff. nytimes.com/2026/10/12/world…

This is absolutely crazy. Joseph Kabila has joined the AFC/M23 — which is changing its name to the Front pour la Refondation de la Nation.
The peace process is presumably well and truly dead.
URGENT : NAISSANCE DU FRONT POUR LA REFONDATION DE LA NATION (FRN)
Un nouveau mouvement politico-militaire, dénommé Front pour la refondation de la nation (FRN), a vu le jour à Goma ce lundi 12 octobre 2026. Il succède à l’AFC.
L’ancien président de la République démocratique du Congo, Joseph Kabila Kabange, est nommé à la tête de cette nouvelle structure. Il sera secondé par trois vice-présidents : Corneille Nangaa, Bertrand Bisimwa et le général-major Sultani Makenga, qui conserve également ses fonctions de chef d’état-major général de l’Armée révolutionnaire congolaise (ARC).

Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers offer an unexpected natural experiment in how Russian infrastructure sustains online influence operations. Early bot-traffic data is striking. Claims of a collapse in pro-AfD and pro-MAGA amplification need/deserve verification.

A comprehensive new report by Sudan Transparency on sanctions - their efficacy, limits and why sanctions alone cannot stop war as targeted entities adapt faster and across vast jurisdiction.
Brilliant reporting by @baldozer09 and his team
