Kabila stood for reelection in 2011, facing 10 other candidates in the November 28 poll. Though Kabila made strides toward peace, his actions were not without opposition. He was later, in 2000, appointed Chief of Staff of the Land Forces, a position he held until the elder President Kabila's assassination in January 2001. Kabila married Olive Lembe di Sita, on 1 June 2006. He subsequently attempted to end the ongoing civil war by negotiating peace agreements with rebel groups backed by Rwanda and Uganda, the same regional armies who had brought Laurent-Désiré Kabila's rebel group to power three years before. [5] Doch weder Kabila noch der Gegenkandidat Jean-Pierre Bemba, verschwägert mit der Familie Mobutu, hielten sich mit politischen Programmen auf. According to widely disputed provisional results announced on 20 August, Kabila won 45% of the vote; his main opponent, vice-president and former rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba, won 20%. Juli 2006 erhielt Kabila die meisten Stimmen, aber nicht die absolute Mehrheit, weswegen am 29. Sein Vater war daraufhin von 1997 bis 2001 Präsident des Kongo. Still, the elections were held as scheduled, and provisional results showed that Kabila was the winner, with 49 percent of the vote; Tshisekedi followed, with 32 percent. Kabila was the target of protests when there were suspicions as early as 2013 that he would not step down at the end of his term in late 2016 and would instead try to find a way to extend his time in office.

[24], In January 2012, Catholic bishops in DR Congo also condemned the elections, complaining of "treachery, lies and terror", and calling on the election commission to correct "serious errors". Im Dezember 2002 wurde ein Friedensabkommen zwischen den Rebellen und der Regierung geschlossen, worauf dann im Juli unter seiner Leitung eine Allparteienregierung gebildet wurde. He was elected as President in 2006 and re-elected in 2011 for a second term. 1996 schloss er sich den Truppen seines Vaters an und war Befehlshaber im Ersten Kongokrieg. He took office ten days[1] after the assassination of his father, President Laurent-Désiré Kabila. On 19 September 2016, massive protests rocked Kinshasa calling for him to step down as legally mandated. [21], In December 2011, Kabila was re-elected for a second term as president. Shortly after Laurent was assassinated, Joseph was inaugurated as the country’s president on January 26, 2001. Er besuchte Grund- und weiterführende Schulen in Fizi, zu dessen Territorium Hewa Bora gehört, sowie in Dar-es-Salaam und Mbeya in Tansania. In December 2002 he signed an agreement with rebels to end the war and to form a power-sharing transitional government. [10], Joseph Kasavubu | Depuis le 16 janvier 2001, c'est une énigme. The irregularities surrounding the elections results prompted a run-off vote between Kabila and Bemba which was held on 29 October. [41], In late February 2018 the ministry of international affairs of Botswana told Kabila that it was time to go and said the "worsening humanitarian situation" in DRC is compounded by the fact that "its leader has persistently delayed holding elections, and has lost control over the security of his country". Partially in response to the delayed election, the United States issued sanctions against two members of Kabila's inner circle, John Numbi and Gabriel Amisi Kumba, on 28 September. Several international monitoring groups characterized the polls as being poorly organized and noted many irregularities, but the results were confirmed by the Supreme Court and Kabila was inaugurated on December 20, 2011. Doch wie viele andere distanzierte sich Katumbi im Jahr 2015 öffentlich von Kabila. 2006 fanden aufwendige und von der EU, den USA und der UNO finanzierte Wahlen statt, es waren die ersten freien Mehrparteienwahlen in der Geschichte des Landes seit der Unabhängigkeit. Kabila wurde nach offiziellen Angaben als Sohn von Laurent Kabila und dessen Frau Mahanya Sifa Kabila als zweites von neun Kindern im Rebellenhauptquartier Hewa Bora II geboren und stammt aus der Bantu-Volksgruppe der Luba. An interim administration was set up under him, including the leaders of the country's two main rebel groups as vice-presidents (two other vice-presidents were representatives of the civilian opposition and government supporters respectively). Eine weitverbreitete, zu politischer Propaganda verwendete Version besagt, seine Eltern seien Tutsi aus Ruanda gewesen und Kabila daher ein Instrument zur Ausübung ruandischen Einflusses in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo.
