 Former Congolese President Joseph Kabila appeared for the first time in public in rebel-held territory in the country's volatile east on Thursday, meeting with religious leaders in what participants said was a push for peace.
Kabila, who has been out of the country since 2023, mostly in South Africa, is wanted in Congo for alleged crimes against humanity for supporting the insurgency in the east, including a role in the massacre of civilians. Congo has also moved to suspend his political party and seize the assets of its leaders.

Melted fuel debris retrieved from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant differed in several ways from an earlier sample and could reveal further details on how the 2011 disaster unfolded there, researchers said.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Tokyo Electric Power Co. on May 29 released their analysis of the debris that was removed from the No. 2 reactor at the stricken plant in April.

TEPCO has been analyzing melted nuclear fuel samples as part of efforts to determine the best way to decommission the nuclear power plant.
