DRC: Ex-president Kabila challenges US sanctions in court

Joseph Kabila, the former president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, has taken the US government to court in Washington to challenge sanctions imposed on him. The sanctions were put in place by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) in April, based on allegations that are not substantiated, according to Kabila. This move could have significant implications for US-Congo relations and may affect trade between the two countries.
