## Resource

Protesters flooded Kinshasa’s parliament grounds Friday demanding constitutional changes allowing President Tshisekedi a third term — a move opposition leaders say is a power grab. Armed security forces clashed with demonstrators, firing tear gas and live rounds as protesters threw rocks, injuring several, including prominent opposition figures. The unrest followed a National Assembly vote to bypass term limits via public referendum — a maneuver critics call a setup to extend Tshisekedi’s rule. The president himself has signaled openness to running again if the people support it, deepening fears of a political power play in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
