Tshisekedi's Potential War Declaration and Congo's Chaotic Election Process

TL;DR Summary
Incumbent President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has threatened to declare war on Rwanda if re-elected, accusing them of backing the M23 rebel group. Tensions between the two countries have been escalating, with the DRC blaming Rwanda for the violence in its volatile east. While some analysts believe Tshisekedi's rhetoric is aimed at gaining more votes, experts warn that such strong language could have severe consequences and destabilize East Africa. The DRC has a history of instability and conflict, and efforts to end the war have so far been unsuccessful.
