Opposition members of the C64 coalition offer to mediate the Congolese crisis

Members of the C64 political coalition met in Rome from October 25 to 27, 2026, to discuss the political and security crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following their meeting, the presidium of the coalition expressed readiness to meet with both President Félix Tshisekedi and former President Joseph Kabila.

The group intends to act as facilitators to help achieve a peaceful resolution to the crisis and promote reconciliation. This proposal follows an earlier call for inclusive dialogue made by the bishops of CENCO.

The C64 coalition consists of opposition parties dedicated to defending the constitutional order. Their initiative comes as the country faces ongoing conflict in the east and political disputes in Kinshasa regarding proposed constitutional reforms.
