- Three people have been reported killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DR Congo) capital following a shootout between armed men in military uniform and guards of a top politician, an incident the army described as an attempted coup.
Two police officers and one of the attackers were among those killed in the shootout that started early on Sunday.
The armed men attacked the Kinshasa residence of Vital Kamerhe, a federal legislator and a candidate for speaker of the National Assembly of DR Congo, but were stopped by his guards, Kamerhe’s spokesman Michel Moto Muhima said on social media.
A DR Congo military spokesman said in a televised address that the perpetrators of the failed takeover had been arrested.

US will not decline peacefully. That’s people around the world should worry about. Not just global south.
this is what im afraid of
Us is jewish second country
A few days ago, DRC President has for first time, agreed to "peace talks" with next door Rwanda's Kagame. Relevant?
Exactly they divide us on purpose
Possible, these guys from the West hate peace in Africa.
How many more coups have to happen in Africa for African countries to realize, that they need to end one of their biggest national security threats, namely Western embassies, which are espionage bases, as revealed by Snowden and others ?
The Vienna Convention, passed in 1961 European calendar, one year after the African year of decolonization, was a huge disaster for Africa. Without it, most coups in Africa wouldn't have been possible.
Oh yes
My response to this comment was deleted,likely because I raised the issue of Vienna Convention.
Why is America stirring up a coup here?
Cobalt
Coltan and Cobalt,nothing else.
Electric cars
Mineral wealth. Always striping the natural resources and polluting the land so local people can't use it.

Tell the people in the studio to shut up while you're doing your reporting
This situation is not clear; there must be a mind game on Fatshi's part! How did a group of less than 100 people, who are not career soldiers, manage to enter a country (the DRC) with weapons and military uniforms and displaying the old flag of Zaire? How could they freely invade the city of Kinshasa without any resistance from the government security services? How were they able to go to government buildings supposed to be under total protection and sow panic there, like at the People's Palace? How were they able to go to the homes of politicians like Kamerhe without the intervention of the police? Don't senior Congolese politicians have bodyguards? How were they able to go to the office of the President of the Republic, enter it and shout too loudly inside without any military intervention? Isn't it guarded by the Republican Guard?
How did this so-called Christian Malanga arrive with his child at an event which he knew very well could cause damage, both material and human? When did Malanga choose these people, when did he train them? It's a complete mystery! It's a comedy, the problem is that people lost their lives for nothing!
Free Chechnya and Dagestan
Free Palestine, Free North Ireland, American Native, Free Kosovo,And aborigine people.
It’s about Congo. People in Congo are also dying. No one talks about that. Why not free Congo.
Go away. Chechnya and Dagestan are Russia, and that's not changing.
It’s raising awareness about Congo so you go away.
@TravelWithMeli Did you read my comment, or did you just give a clueless response? Is Chechnya or Dagestan in Congo? I wasn't talking to you.

I think coup has already taken place. Why is army giving updates
How can you make a coup d etat without involving the resident army
Fikira zako mbaya tu. Every army has a speaker.
@@benedictluoga9257this is what whites do for their own interest. These people used residents to kill Sinkara..
@@benedictluoga9257 it make sense but don’t you think it would be appropriate to hear from the president or spokesperson of the president
@@SimbaM2kufu of course but we also need to hear from the president.
As is it's too large to govern ought to be divided into west DRC, east DRC & south DRC
They also ought not have kicked out east Africa community forces
No country is too large to Govern. Competent leadership is the only solution.
There is no such thing as West, East or South DRC even if the country was to be divided, it would probably divided along the interest of the neighboring countries and wont be called those names for sure.

6 million dead vs under 100k in palestine, surprised aljazeera is even reporting this. Also the coup was completed around the time israel was created, they killed lamumba, this "coup" is simply to maintain their interests over a long time
Coup staged by 3 people 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really?
