Two days after the 15 September march, Dépêche.cd publishes a further response.
On 17 September 2026, two days after the demonstration, Dépêche.cd reported Jean Thierry Monsenepwo's criticism of C64's strategy and his call for its leaders to join dialogue. The contribution continues his position before the march.
His assessment is political, not an independent investigation or verified participant count. Its main purpose is to advocate discussion as a way forward.
C64's separately reported response provides another perspective. The coalition alleged violence, requested investigations and releases, and demanded the dismantling of Force du progrès. These attributed demands concern conditions for public expression and responsibility for events during the march.
The presidential framework was announced on 27 August. Félix Tshisekedi proposed provincial consultations followed by national meetings, with a planned maximum duration of three months. He distinguished the initiative from Doha negotiations and envisaged institutional follow-up. These were announced arrangements, not completed stages.
Representation, security guarantees, the agenda and implementation of conclusions provide useful criteria for assessing such a process. An invitation alone does not establish acceptance by every participant.
This entry connects the immediate reaction to a march with preparations for wider dialogue. It distinguishes political criticism, opposition demands and institutional announcements; later developments require their own dated sources.
