A military court in Kinshasa on Tuesday sentenced former Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Joseph Kabila to death in absentia, convicting him on charges of treason, terrorism, and war crimes. The sweeping verdict against the 54-year-old ex-leader included allegations of murder, torture, sexual assault, and conspiracy to support the M23 rebel insurgency in eastern Congo.

Rwanda has agreed to accept up to 250 illegal immigrants deported from the United States, a spokesperson for the country confirmed.

Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo signed a peace agreement in Washington, D.C., marking a significant step in the countries' decades-long conflict.

Rwanda is in talks to possibly take illegal immigrants from the United States, according to the country's foreign minister, Olivier Nduhungirehe.
