Tshisekedi's 'fool's dialogue': popular consultation or constitutional circumvention strategy?

The dialogue proposed by Félix Tshisekedi appears to be a strategy aimed at legitimizing a constitutional change under the guise of popular consultation. The goal would be to create a plebiscite in favor of this change, thereby circumventing the legal obstacles of a referendum. However, this approach raises questions about the impartiality and transparency of the process, particularly due to Tshisekedi's control over the consultations. The true purpose of this initiative remains uncertain: is it to refound the state or to extend his mandate beyond constitutional limits?
