Earlier this month, Joseph Kabila was named leader of the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation, making the former DR Congo president a rebel leader again at 55. He was a commander in the alliance that brought his father to power in 1997, then succeeded him and spent 18 years at the helm. Now he has sworn to topple the man he handed power to, and one rebel group he opposed as president is part of his new alliance. Did you see this twist coming?
