The capital city of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa, is currently experiencing a noticeable slowdown as various opposition forces intensify their actions against President Félix Tshisekedi. These concerted efforts by political adversaries are designed to disrupt the city’s usual rhythm, signaling a period of heightened political tension across the nation.
President Tshisekedi, whose tenure began with his presidential oath-taking ceremony on January 24, 2019, in Kinshasa, where he prominently displayed an official copy of the Constitution, now faces significant political pressure. The opposition’s strategy appears focused on creating widespread unrest and drawing both domestic and international attention to their grievances with the current administration.
