Government lawyers presenting arguments in Kinshasa court
Lawyers representing the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) presented arguments to the country’s military high court regarding the origins of former president Joseph Kabila. They claim that Kabila may have Rwandan origins and discuss potential legal and political implications related to his time in office.
During the hearing on August 21, 2025, the lawyers stated that Kabila’s birth name may be Hippolyte Kanambe. They allege he used another identity during his presidency, raising questions about nationality and eligibility.
