The ban comes amid reports that Kabila has returned to the country after spending two years in South Africa.

He is said to have returned to the town of Goma, which was seized by the Rwandan-backed M23 in January.

Kabila led DR Congo for 18 years, after succeeding his father Laurent, who was shot dead in 2001. Joseph Kabila was just 29 at the time.

An interior ministry statement said all activities of Kabila's PPRD party had been banned because of its "ambiguous attitude" to the occupation of Congolese territory by the M23.
