Two opposition figures in the DR Congo were injured on Friday at a rally against government plans to change the constitution, broken up by police after clashes with pro-government supporters.
In power since 2019, President Felix Tshisekedi, 62, comes to the end of his second, and under the current constitution, final five-year mandate in 2028.
He recently declared, however, that he would agree to lead the conflict-plagued country for a third term "if the people wish it" after a referendum on reforming the constitution.
The ruling majority has sought for weeks to remove the Congolese constitution's iron-clad two-term limit for presidents.
The main parties of the divided and weak opposition came together last month in a coalition to oppose what they see as the president's attempt to cling to power.
