🇨🇩 Tension in Kinshasa as Police Disperse Anti-Constitutional Reform Protests
Police in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, fired tear gas and warning shots to disperse hundreds of protesters demonstrating against proposed constitutional changes.
Opposition groups say the proposed changes could pave the way for President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term in 2028, while the government maintains that the right to protest must be exercised lawfully.
The demonstrations, organised by the opposition C64 coalition, also took place in other cities as political tensions continue to rise over the country’s constitutional future.
