The army of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has made an announcement regarding the foiling of an attempted coup against President Felix Tshisekedi. The coup’s leader, Christian Malanga, was k!lled, and approximately 50 individuals, among whom are three American citizens, have been apprehended.
Three individuals from the United States, purportedly affiliated with the CIA, have recently been detained for their involvement in the coup endeavor within the Congo. One of these CIA operatives holds dual citizenship, American and Israeli, and is believed to have been acting under the directives of Israeli tycoon Dan Gertler.
The assault was directed at both the presidential palace and the domicile of a close confidant of President Tshisekedi.
The undertaking led by Malanga ultimately proved unsuccessful. Malanga and several cohorts met their demise during an attempted escape via the Congo River to Congo-Brazzaville. His son, Marcel Malanga, and his associate and comrade, Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun, have been placed under arrest.
The movement affiliated with Malanga is denoted as New Zaire, in homage to the former title of the DRC prior to May 17, 1997. Meanwhile, additional footage depicts Malanga and his faction hoisting the Zaire flag and navigating the premises of the Palace, displaying signs of restlessness. His son, along with a contingent of well-equipped soldiers conversing in Lingala, is discernible.
