In the Democratic Republic of Congo, members of the C64 opposition coalition took to the streets of the capital, Kinshasa, to protest against a proposed change to the country's constitution. The demonstrations coincided with parliament returning for a new legislative session.

The opposition coalition has spent several months openly opposing the constitutional amendment, which is backed by the ruling majority. The report does not specify the exact content of the proposed change, but it highlights ongoing tension between the government and opposition forces over the country's foundational law.

The report from Kinshasa was filed by journalist Aurélie Bazzara-Kibangula.
