DRC Presidency Bans Contact with Belgian Embassy After Brussels Raids

The DRC presidency has ordered its members to cease all contact with the Belgian embassy following coordinated raids in Brussels and Brabant linked to President Tshisekedi and his family. This marks a sharp diplomatic escalation between the two states, with the DRC reacting to perceived Belgian judicial overreach. The full scope of the raids and their legal basis remain unclear, but the move signals a potential rupture in bilateral relations.
