Joseph Kabila, former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, named himself president of the Front for the Rebuilding of the Nation. He is now formally allied with M23, the Rwanda-backed militia that has terrorized eastern provinces for many years. In addition, Ebola virus disease continues to spread in the DRC. Maurice Carney is the executive director of Friends of the Congo, and he joins us from Washington to provide analysis.
