By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Mediacongo
Joseph Kabila has taken the lead of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), a politico-military movement, making his participation in the inclusive national dialogue more uncertain. This development complicates discussions between the opposition and the government over the conditions for the dialogue, Mediacongo reports.
Joseph Kabila, former president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has taken the lead of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN), a politico-military movement, according to Mediacongo. This position complicates prospects for the inclusive national dialogue sought by part of the opposition, which wanted the former head of state to take part.
Opposition figures who supported his inclusion now face a dilemma over the terms of his participation, Mediacongo reports. The debate follows statements by political leaders on the movement, including a call by Communications Minister Patrick Muyaya on 19 October for the opposition to clarify its position on Kabila. The Kumu community also joined the FRN on 19 October ([its alignment with the movement]( /news/la-communaute-kumu-rejoint-le-mouvement-politico-militaire-de-kabila-en-rdc )).
