On September 30, 2025, former President Joseph Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo was sentenced to death by Kinshasa’s High Military Court. Found guilty of treason, war crimes, and complicity with the M23 rebel group, Kabila was sentenced in absentia while in exile. This landmark ruling has deepened political tensions in the DRC amid ongoing conflict and fragile peace negotiations.
In this video, the journalist William Muyuku analyzes the two major scenarios that could unfold after Kabila’s sentence: whether the Congolese government will issue an international arrest warrant, increasing diplomatic and security pressures, or if no such warrant is issued, allowing Kabila to remain out of reach and potentially destabilizing the political landscape. The consequences for regional stability, justice, and the future of governance in the DRC are explored.
