Joseph Kabila, former president of the DR Congo, announced on 12 October in Goma the creation of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), a platform that includes officials from the Congo River Alliance (AFC) and M23, which are active in the east of the country, according to Actualité.cd.
In a statement published on 9 October, Joseph Kabila accused President Félix Tshisekedi of authoritarian excesses and of seeking to amend the Constitution to obtain a third term in 2028.
