Following a period of relative calm, the political climate in the Democratic Republic of Congo is once again heating up. An ultimatum presented to President Tshisekedi, demanding the convocation of a crucial national dialogue, officially concluded on August 15. The head of state subsequently announced on Sunday his intention to address the nation, providing details on the proposed framework for these discussions. Meanwhile, the prominent opposition coalition, C64, has urged citizens to participate in street demonstrations scheduled for September 15. The critical question now remains: can these escalating political tensions be de-escalated before the planned protests?
