Attempted coup in the DR of Congo halted

The Democratic Republic of Congo army says it has quashed an attempted coup against President Felix Tshisekedi in the capital Kinshasa involving Congolese and foreign fighters.

DR Congo army spokesperson Brig Gen Sylavin Ekenge several suspects have been detained and the “situation is now under control”.

His statement comes hours after Witnesses say a group of about 20 assailants in army uniform attacked the house of Vital Kamerhe, the former chief of staff and close ally to President Tshisekedi early on Sunday morning.

Local media reports said the assailants who were members of the New Zaire Movement linked to formerly-exiled politician Christian Malanga, also occupied the Palais de la Nation, the office of the President of the Republic which is located in the city centre, a place highly secured by the Republican Guard.

President Tshisekedi who was re-elected for a second term in the disputed elections last year in December, has however not made any public comment on the situation so far.
