Former Democratic Republic of Congo leader Joseph Kabila went on trial in absentia Friday on charges including treason over alleged support for Rwanda-backed militants. Kabila, who has lived outside the DRC for two years, stands accused at a military court of plotting to overthrow the government of President Felix Tshisekedi — a charge that could yield a death sentence. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in Kinshasa, Emmet Livingstone.
