Following a period of relative calm, an ultimatum issued to President Tshisekedi, urging him to convene a comprehensive national dialogue, officially expired on August 15. The Head of State subsequently announced on Sunday his intention to address the nation, providing clarity on the modalities and scope of this anticipated dialogue. Meanwhile, the C64 opposition coalition has issued a call for citizens to participate in street demonstrations scheduled for September 15. The crucial question now is whether political tensions can be de-escalated before this planned day of action.
