DR Congo ex-president Kabila sentenced to death in absentia for 'treason' • FRANCE 24 English

A military court in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday sentenced ex-president Joseph Kabila to death in absentia for "treason". Kabila, 54, who was neither present nor represented at the trial in the capital, Kinshasa, was found guilty of complicity with the M23 anti-government armed group, which has seized swathes of the resource-rich Congolese east with Rwandan help. Emmett Livingstone reports from Kinshasa.
