Clashes erupt in Congo’s capital as opposition rejects changes to presidential term limits

Violent clashes erupted in Kinshasa, Congo, during a rally opposing a proposed constitutional change that could allow President Félix Tshisekedi to seek a third term. The opposition coalition C64, which rejects the amendment, clashed with pro-government supporters before police dispersed the crowd using tear gas. The bill under consideration in the National Assembly would permit revising presidential term limits via referendum if state institutions face 'major dysfunction.'
