DRC Opposition Postpones National Protest Over Impending Dialogue
The C64 opposition coalition in the Democratic Republic of Congo announced the postponement of a major protest scheduled for Kinshasa on July 23, 2026. The move follows President Félix Tshisekedi's announcement of a national dialogue intended to resolve political tensions. Opposition leaders agreed to the suspension following mediation by Catholic and Protestant church leaders. However, the coalition warned that they would resume demonstrations if the dialogue did not commence by August 15, citing concerns over potential constitutional term-limit changes.
