DR Congo court backs referendum law, sparking third-term fears

A court in the Democratic Republic of Congo has approved a law allowing a national referendum, reigniting debate over whether President Félix Tshisekedi can seek a third term. The opposition strongly criticized the reform, arguing it could weaken constitutional limits on presidential power. The controversy unfolds as the country battles growing security threats, including renewed clashes with the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group in the east and a worsening Ebola outbreak.
