The Democratic Republic of Congo, embroiled in a deadly Ebola crisis, has imposed a ban on public gatherings. This measure affects four provinces, including Kinshasa, the nation's capital.

The timing of the ban is raising eyebrows, as it precedes a planned protest in Kinshasa on July 8. This protest is against proposed constitutional reforms.

Opposition figures are crying foul, labeling the ban as a 'politically motivated' move to stifle dissent. The controversy adds another layer of complexity to the already tense political climate.
