Dozens arrested as DR Congo police tear gas protests over president's third-term bid

Police in the Democratic Republic of Congo fired tear gas to break up protests in the capital, Kinshasa, on [date], according to activists. The demonstrations were called by an opposition coalition against a proposed constitutional change that could let President Félix Tshisekedi run for a third term. Dozens of people were arrested, activists said. The government has not yet commented on the number of arrests. Opposition groups say the change would remove term limits and weaken democratic checks on presidential power. Supporters of the proposal argue it is needed to reform the constitution.
