Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Democratic Republic of Congo recalled its ambassadors from Kenya and Tanzania for consultations on Saturday after a new Congolese military alliance that includes rebels was launched in the Kenyan capital.<\/p>\n

Alain Tshibanda, spokesperson for Congo\u2019s foreign ministry, made the announcement on the X platform. The envoy to Tanzania was recalled because Tanzania hosts the headquarters of the East African Community, which Congo also belongs to.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Saturday, the Kenyan embassy\u2019s head of mission had been summoned to the foreign ministry in Kinshasa. The Kenyan government could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Congolese politicians and groups including the M23 rebels, who have seized territory in eastern Congo, and Corneille Nangaa, a former Congo election commission chief, launched the Congo River Alliance in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, Nangaa, who was sanctioned by the U.S. for corruption and obstructing the 2018 election, said the alliance would bring together various Congolese armed groups, militias, social and political organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am looking for a lasting solution; all communities must live together in Congo,\u201d Nangaa told Reuters on Saturday. Congo is due to hold presidential and legislative elections on 20 December.<\/p>\n

The new alliance is an additional concern in a region where insecurity has persisted for decades, fuelled by ethnic rivalries and a tussle over land and resources with regional implications.<\/p>\n

Bintou Keita, head of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Congo (MONUSCO), said in a post on X that she was \u201cextremely concerned by the creation of a new political-military platform\u201d.<\/p>\n
