The C64 opposition coalition in the Democratic Republic of Congo has condemned the death of Manassé Lomboto Bomegola, a senior member of the ADD-Congo party, who died during a protest on 15 September in Kinshasa. Opposition spokesman Dieudonné Bolengetenge accused members of President Félix Tshisekedi's ruling UDPS party militia, along with police and army units, of responsibility for the killing, and charged the government with bearing political and criminal responsibility — allegations that have not been independently verified. The demonstration, which had been officially authorised but was dispersed with tear gas, was part of a nationwide day of protest organised by the C64 against proposed constitutional changes that would allow Tshisekedi to seek a third presidential term; security forces also broke up rallies and made arrests in Lubumbashi, Mbandaka, and eastern provinces.
