Demonstrators attend an opposition protest against the constitutional reforms proposed by DRC President Felix Tshisekedi, in Kinshasa on September 15, 2026.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the opposition is stepping up pressure on President Félix Tshisekedi to exit the scene when his second and final term ends in 2028.
The president’s opponents are not acting out of the blue: they are moving to forestall a possible third term for the leader whose allies have kicked off a campaign to change the law to afford him an extension.
