The Democratic Republic of Congo has banned the party of former President Joseph Kabila.

Kabila led DR Congo for 18 years, after succeeding his father Laurent, who was shot dead in 2001. Joseph Kabila was just 29 at the time.

Last Friday, the government accused Kabila (now 53), of high treason and ordered the seizure of all his property.

An interior ministry statement said all activities of Kabila’s PPRD party had been banned because of its “ambiguous attitude” to the occupation of Congolese territory by the M23 rebel group. After spending two years in South Africa, Kabila is reported to have returned to the country to the town of Goma, where he was being protected by the M23 rebel group described as the “enemy”.
