Former Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Joseph Kabila has initiated discussions with opposition leaders and civil society figures to address the country’s political future, sources say.

The talks come at a critical time as Rwanda-backed M23 rebels make significant territorial gains in eastern Congo, posing a major security challenge to the government of President Félix Tshisekedi.

Tshisekedi has faced growing criticism over his handling of the insurgency, with opposition figures accusing his administration of failing to protect civilians and secure national sovereignty. Kabila’s re-engagement in political dialogue raises speculation about his potential influence in shaping the country’s political landscape, adding pressure on the incumbent president ahead of future elections.

The situation remains fluid as concerns grow over the rebels’ rapid advance and its implications for Congo’s stability.
