Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) government has suspended former President Joseph Kabila's political party and ordered his assets seized over accusations of supporting Rwandan-backed rebels in the east.

The 53-year-old, who ruled from 2001 to 2019 and only stepped down after deadly protests against him, has said he wants to return to Congo to help seek a solution to the war.

For more reaction on this, Asanda Beda spoke to Jean-Baptiste Gasominari, a lawyer and political analyst based in Rwanda's capital Kigali.
