On September 4, 2026, Congolese press discusses controversies surrounding the national dialogue and Félix Tshisekedi's participation in Carlos Vila Nova's inauguration in São Tomé. The weekly Congo Nouveau highlights the wait for presidential ordinances needed to structure the national dialogue, questioning the government's management of the timeline.
