DR Congo Forces Break Up Protests Against Constitution Changes

Security forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo have used force to disperse demonstrators. The protests were organized by individuals who oppose proposed changes to the nation's constitution. President Tshisekedi is constitutionally barred from seeking re-election under the current laws. The demonstrators fear that constitutional amendments could allow him to bypass this restriction. The government has not yet officially commented on the dispersal of the protests. The situation remains tense as political discussions around the constitution continue.

The events highlight potential political instability and public opposition to constitutional amendments that could affect presidential term limits.
