In Rome, from October 25-27, 2026, the Congolese opposition coalition, Coalition Article 64 (C64), proposed separate meetings with President Félix Tshisekedi and former President Joseph Kabila to negotiate a resolution to the political crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The coalition's final declaration condemned any attempts to hold power beyond constitutional limits and rejected the use of force to seize power. The C64 called for dialogue and negotiations to address the political tensions in the DRC.
C64's proposal for separate meetings with Tshisekedi and Kabila comes amidst growing political tensions in the DRC. The coalition aims to facilitate negotiations between the two leaders to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.
