Kabila returns to Congo stirring political buzz

Ex-Congo boss Joseph Kabila just shocked everyone - he's coming back home after hiding away for years! He posted online, saying he'd enter the country through dangerous eastern territories because the nation needed him. This bombshell drops amid massive unrest across the country, especially in eastern regions where armed gangs terrorize locals. Kabila ran the show from 2001 to 2019 before handing the reins to Félix Tshisekedi but stayed a behind-the-scenes power player.

These two bigshots absolutely hate each other these days. Kabila accuses Tshisekedi of stealing elections, human rights abuses, and massive corruption. Tshisekedi fires back, claiming Kabila secretly backs rebel fighters like the feared M23 group responsible for brutal attacks. His choice to return through eastern Congo sends a clear message - he's deliberately stirring the pot in the most unstable part of the country.

Political experts warn that his comeback could explode tensions between rival camps. A Kinshasa expert called it more than a homecoming - it's Kabila presenting himself as the country's savior when people lost faith in Tshisekedi. Government officials haven't officially responded, but security forces stand ready nationwide. Kabila fans have already started rallying, demanding he take charge again.
