Congo's army says six people were killed and dozens arrested following attacks on the residence of a close ally of President Felix Tshisekedi.
Six people were killed and dozens arrested following attacks on the residence of a close ally of President Felix Tshisekedi and the presidential palace, in what the country's military described as a foiled coup attempt. In December, Tshisekedi was reelected as president amid calls for a revote from the opposition over what they said was a lack of transparency.
Kamerhe's spokesman posted on social media platform X, saying the guards were able to stop them and confirmed the lawmaker and his family were safe. Two guards were also killed, Ekenge said. At first, local media identified the armed men as Congolese soldiers but then reported they were linked to Malanga, who posted a video from inside the presidential palace on Facebook on Sunday threatening Tshisekedi.
