Former DR Congo President Joseph Kabila denounced his successor's government as a "dictatorship" in a YouTube speech after his immunity was lifted, paving the way for treason charges.

He also proposed a plan to end insecurity in the eastern region, where he is accused of supporting M23 rebels. The ex-president, who ruled from 2001 to 2019, has been living outside the country for two years. His speech comes amid rising tensions and potential destabilization in the DR Congo.
