NGAn opposition leader in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Delly Sesanga, reported being denied departure from the country and having his passport confiscated, describing the action as 'intimidation.' Sesanga leads the Envol party and is part of a coalition opposing proposed constitutional amendments that could enable President Felix Tshisekedi to seek a third term. The proposed changes, passed by parliament, would allow the president to remain in power beyond his current mandate ending in 2028. Opposition groups have criticized these reforms as a 'constitutional coup,' and recent protests against them have led to clashes with authorities, resulting in injuries and condemnation from international bodies like the UN. Sesanga claimed he was traveling to Europe for medical treatment but was prevented from leaving, with a judicial investigation reportedly underway.
