En République démocratique du Congo, une dizaine de militants de l'opposition, appartenant à la coalition Lamuka, ont été arrêtés à Kinshasa le 24 mars. Ils manifestaient contre toute révision constitutionnelle qui pourrait permettre au président Félix Tshisekedi de briguer un troisième mandat. Selon le porte-parole de Lamuka, Prince Epenge, les militants étaient descendus dans les rues pour sensibiliser la population au dialogue national inclusif. Il dénonce une répression policière, affirmant que seize militants ont été interpellés, malgré que l'hôtel de ville ait été prévenu de la manifestation. Parmi les personnes arrêtées figure Martin Balela, président de la jeunesse du parti ADDCongo, membre de Lamuka.
