> Protests have resumed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo over proposed constitutional changes that critics say could enable President Felix Tshisekedi to pursue a third term after 2028. Parliament approved a referendum framework in June; the Constitutional Court raised concerns before finding it compatible with the constitution. Tshisekedi denies plans to extend his rule.
