The DR Congo Constitution Controversy: A Backdrop to Music and Protest The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been at the forefront of international news due to widespread protests against a plan to change the constitution.
The proposed changes, which would grant President Félix Tshisekedi sweeping powers, have sparked outrage among opposition politicians, activists, and ordinary citizens.
Protests erupted in early November in Kinshasa, with thousands gathering in the city center to demand that President Tshisekedi drop his plans to change the constitution.
