Hundreds of protesters in Kinshasa demonstrated against a government-proposed constitutional amendment that would permit a third presidential term, signaling potential political instability in the DRC. For investors and businesses operating in the country, such constitutional disputes can introduce policy uncertainty and risk of civil unrest, which may affect market confidence and operational continuity in sectors such as mining and infrastructure. The outcome of this debate will shape the DRC's governance trajectory and its appeal to foreign capital.
