Wouldn't be surprised if Kabila considers torpedoing the peace deal now that FT is targeting him. The timing of which is no coincidence as FT looks to negate his influence ahead of signing the agreement.

Clearly Kabila is now in combative mode hunkered down with the M23 and, for the moment, out of reach from arrest and prosecution. Will he flee back to exile, or stay and fight?

His decision will likely be determined by whether or not he has more influence over the M23 than Kagame. I think not, as the peace deal cleverly provides for significant benefits to all parties, including the M23, which Kabila can no longer match.

In short, he's been outplayed and this security for minerals will relegate him to yesterday's man and a life in exile with no immunity. IMO.
