American citizens were involved in an attempted coup d’état that left at least three people dead on Sunday in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a military spokesperson told CNN Monday. The attempted coup, which targeted the residence of Congolese politician Vital Kamerhe and the country’s presidential palace, was led by opposition leader Christian Malanga, who army spokesman General Sylvain Ekenge said was also a US citizen.
” It is not immediately known whether President Felix Tshisekedi, who secured re-election for a second term after last December’s disputed vote was at the presidential palace during the attack. Sunday’s incident was the second coup attempt by the now deceased Malanga, a former Congolese military veteran, Ekenge told CNN. “He tried it without success in 2017,” Ekenge said but did not provide further details.
