DR Congo security forces disperse protest against constitutional change
DAKAR, June 12 - Security forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo dispersed a crowd outside the parliament building in Kinshasa on Friday, witnesses and opposition politicians said, as demonstrators gathered to oppose planned constitutional changes they say could allow President Felix Tshisekedi to run for a third term.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital, Kinshasa, security forces used dispersal tactics against a gathering of protesters. The demonstrators had assembled outside the parliament building to voice their opposition to proposed amendments to the constitution. Opposition politicians and witnesses confirmed the event. Concerns have been raised that these changes could permit President Felix Tshisekedi to seek a third term in office. The protest occurred on Friday as the legislative body considered the constitutional revisions.
This event is important because it signals potential political instability and public resistance to actions that could extend a president's term, impacting democratic processes in a key African nation.
