Paris, September 25, 2025 — On the eve of the 10th anniversary of Congo’s biggest protest
Ten years ago, on September 27, 2015, the streets of Brazzaville erupted in resistance against Denis Sassou Nguesso’s constitutional coup. Thousands stood up for democracy—only to be met with repression, arrests, and betrayal.
Today, the Sassoufit Collective launches a new weapon of resistance:
Oko vs the Kleptos — a retro 2D browser game where rebellion goes pixelated.
From the Frontlines: Andrea speaks
“On September 27, 2015, the Congolese people mobilized for change, but they were betrayed. By altering the constitution, Sassou Nguesso confiscated the nation’s hopes. With the restructuring of the military command, the acquisition of new equipment for the presidential guard, and his declarations of support for the Chinese and Russian regimes, he is preparing to repress the people to ensure he can manipulate the election scheduled for next March.” –
Andrea Ngombet, Executive Director of Sassoufit Collective
