Cartoon: Between Tshisekedi and Kabila, the C64 Advocates a Third Way

Meeting in Rome from October 25 to 27, 2026, the Article 64 Coalition (C64), which includes Martin Fayulu, Moïse Katumbi, Augustin Matata Ponyo and Delly Sesanga, called for a third way amid the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s political and security crisis. It opposes the constitutional revision backed by Félix Tshisekedi, fearing it could pave the way for a third presidential term in 2028, and demands respect for Article 220. The coalition is also concerned by Joseph Kabila’s rapprochement with the armed Front de la révolution nationale (FRN), as he has not ruled out taking up arms. The C64 is calling for inclusive national dialogue, intends to meet Tshisekedi and Kabila, and rejects both seizing power by force and a constitutional referendum.
