Dr. Congo is attempting to remove Kabila’s immunity via M23 Support Claims
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (Dr. Congo) government has called for the Senate to lift the immunity of former President Joseph Kabila, who was accused of supporting the M23 rebel group. President Felix Zisekedi accused Kabila of preparing a “riot” and supporting the alliance, including the M23 armed groups fighting the government forces in the country’s east.

As former president, Kabila holds the title of “Senator for Life.” After leaving Dr. Congo before the final presidential election in 2023 and heading to South Africa, Kabila announced his intention to return to the country to deal with security situations in the east.

Is Budonggo Forest in Uganda a time bomb for the next global pandemic?
Tobacco farming in Uganda led to the loss of the key to the diet of chimpanzees and baboons, resulting in increased human primate interactions and risk of disease ripples. Ecological disruption has led primates to consume bat feces. This includes many viruses related to viruses, including those related to SARS, the coronavirus family that produced covid-19, according to a 2024 study published in nature.
