After a month of relative calm, the political landscape in the Democratic Republic of Congo is once again heating up. An ultimatum for President Tshisekedi to convene a crucial national dialogue expired on August 15, setting the stage for renewed uncertainty. The head of state ultimately announced on Sunday that he would address the nation to detail the framework of this proposed dialogue.
Meanwhile, the opposition coalition C64 has called for public demonstrations, urging citizens to take to the streets on September 15. This looming protest raises a critical question: can political tensions in the DRC truly de-escalate before this date, or are we on the brink of further political unrest?
