The proposed constitutional reform in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been President Félix Tshisekedi’s rallying call to better the country. And his ruling UDPS party has promised to hold public demonstrations in support of it.

Yet the opposition is also promising street demonstrations to oppose any revision or change to the constitution, potentially promising a showdown in the streets.
