Kabila’s Fall – Congo’s High-Stakes Gamble With Justice and Power

Kabila’s Fall is a decisive intelligence brief by Global Eye Intelligence, dissecting the Democratic Republic of Congo’s unprecedented ruling against former President Joseph Kabila. The High Military Court’s conviction of Kabila on treason, war crimes, conspiracy, and collaboration with M23 rebels—paired with a death sentence in absentia and over $33 billion in financial penalties—marks one of the most consequential judicial decisions in African political history. The report draws on insights from the executive summary, background, developments, implications, regional dynamics, international responses, and conclusion to reveal how this ruling may trigger deeper instability in an already fragile state.

The analysis highlights the heightened risks of political mobilisation, fractures within the security sector, rising regional tensions with Rwanda, and threats to Congo’s strategic mining sector, where Kabila-linked networks still operate. While the government frames the ruling as a milestone for accountability, critics warn of judicialized political rivalry that could escalate unrest and undermine governance credibility.

⚠️ The DRC is entering a volatile new chapter—ignoring these signals now means missing early indicators that could reshape Central Africa’s political and economic landscape.
