Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo are seeking to save former President Joseph Kabila from prosecution after accusing him of supporting Eastern rebels.
Attorney General Constant Mutamba said Wednesday there was a “large amount of documents, testimony and significant facts” connecting Kabila with the M23 armed groups.
After significant progress made earlier this year, M23 now controls a portion of the country's mineral-rich parts of the country.
Kabila, 53, has not commented on the allegations, but has denied any connections with the insurgents in the past.
He inherited his father Laurent, who led a Congo doctorate for 18 years after being shot in 2001. Joseph Kabila was only 29 years old at the time.
After resigning, he was awarded the title of “Senator of Life”, which gave him legal immunity.
To file a legal case, the military prosecutor of the Congolese doctor has asked the Senate to overturn the case.
Last month, Kabila returned to the country after spending two years in South Africa – visiting M23 -Mand -Goma.
But these were denied by his party, the rebuilding and democratic BJP.
