- DR Congo: Presidential Palace Attacked, Americans Arrested in Coup Attempt | Firstpost Africa
The army of the Democratic Republic of Congo says it has thwarted an attempted coup by armed men including Congolese and foreign nationals. DR Congo's military says armed men attacked President Felix Tshisekedi's office and the residence of the Economy Minister Vital Kamerhe in Kinshasa. The army says the coup plot was led by Christian Malanga, a U.S-based Congolese politician, who was killed when his forces attacked the Presidential Palace. Videos have also emerged showing Malanga broadcasting live on Facebook from inside the Presidential Palace shortly before he was killed. Is another African nation at the risk of a coup? Watch this video for details.

As an American, I am tired of our country sticking their mercenaries out to try and destabilize countries..
It’s not your country doing that, it’s individuals doing their own thing for money.
@angrydoggy9170 come on fam is the government tho...he means that..sickening
@@paulca3321 It’s not the government. Not even the government is stupid enough to pull a useless stunt like this. Not every issue in the world is caused by the US government. People are perfectly capable of screwing things up without the US government getting involved.
@@angrydoggy9170 CIA loves planting people in foreign countries to start uprising
Two corrupt parties in control of the political system
Congolese women and men soldiers prove their loyalty to the country president please build better houses for the poor and the soldiers family now don't wait Make your people happy now give them a better life
Pay taxes fool
From Congo to Palestine humanity is suffering
I have no doubt that Africans want to be united, but they have allowed enemies in they houses.
Stay strong, and stay united, the light is a the end of the tunnel.
No more wéstern puppets in Africa
Agree with you ❤❤ let the puppets go in USA or Europe if they are not proud of their country
Come to Kenya bro
@@Tavernaccomodationbecause Kenyan president is too dumb and a coward
As long as US and UN re in Africa Things like this will continue to happen.
TWO of the men had USA passport so shameful USA has failed to come out and talk something 🤣🤣
If they dare, their fake democracy scam will be exposed and will have dating implications.
Americans again
Surprise? They meddle everywhere.
Europeans just love it when there is conflict in Africa...
When I watch the conflict in Ukraine on social media, it makes me realize just how fragile Europe really is... 🤨🤨🤨
Always remember.. Europeans colonized Africa... Africans didn't colonize Europe.
They are literally invested in conflict in Africa, just like the U.S.
And now it’s China’s turn.
Correction. Only 1/4 of Europe colonized. Many didnt...😊
for the resources!!
@@Howiex-is8gq Russia is the only country that has always supported Africa… The rest want to colonise us
IF YOU'RE NOT A PUPPET THEY CALL YOU CORRUPT😅
Exactly 😅
Or dictator
Of course yes they do!
Spot on
If you not corrupt they call you terrorists !! 😂😂😂😂
Africa is not Haiti ,viva Congo viva Africa, will not allow an unnecessary coup in Africa from cape to Cairo will defend Africa.
Coup is only allowed when removing a puppet like what happened in Niger. But in the DRC case, it was the exact opposite. The ordinary Congolese people did not support the coup perpetrators. Instead, the Congolese people and the army stood with their government, in spite of it being imperfect.
Haiti is paying because they didn't let the French take them over no your true history 🤷🏾♀️
@@cypriantertullian7495 Are you a Congolese? I am one, and I assure you that. It’s not true or false. It’s, just, that it was not a well organized coup. Tchisekedi is a failure.
@@lelkaya7912 ..."Tchisekedi is a failure." And you think Malanga would've done a better job? Not many people think so. If Malanga wanted to show true patriotism, he should've gone to NEDRC to fight the M23 rebels. Tchisekedi may not be perfect. But he has not sold the DRC out. Unless you know something we don't know.
you must pray for Haiti. The west influence is greater on us. I hope also you are not disrespecting Haiti after all by your comment. Pray for Haiti. Haiti has been betrayed by his own, by the west, I hope he will not be by africa. Stand with and for Haiti.
Sad news to hear that viva Dr congo
Do they mean US? If so why the fuck are we intervening in another countries politics? Leave them the fuck alone.
Continuation of apple attempting to steal minerals trought Rwandan army. Remember that?
The US and the west will never leave Africa alone.
Cause we're the police of the world
Stop acting a fool you know very well what your wicked army has been doing all over the world
Because the dollar is loosing its value and they are doing everything in their power to hold on!!!
Tshisekedi should cancel that MoU he signed with USA mining companies giving unilateral access to rare-earth minerals in Congo DR. This is the reason African polotical leaders need to revisit their relationships with these colonialists
Then it will be mined by Chinese. African mindset desire to share poverty
3 Americans and a British just means the CIA and the MI6.
Simple as that.
They've been interfering in other Nations affairs since forever.
They kicked them out
CIA failed again 😂
not CIA
@@isaacdriggs1 cry well😄
They always failed
Like in Angola, they tried hard but never succeed .
Youtub: CIA in Angola.
They succeeded in assassinating Lumumba. The result was tragic. They always go after the wrong people.
Those captured should not be spared in any circumstances
They need something to make them think twice next time.
I agree with 💯
Put UN out of Congo n u will experience peace
Those are one of the world best Thieves come on😡😡😡😡
Absolutely. UN is there to loot and facilitate the looting of Congo's minerals and other resources. They are not there to protect the ordinary Congolese or to promote peace. Let them go home
THE UN IS ANOTHER TOOL OF THE YANKEES.
So this current president is loved by his people and is working for them. That's good to hear.
Hells no, the population is suffering in DR Congo. People are tired of this so call President who never spends time in the country. DR Congo is the most richest country in minerals. It is just so sad to see what is going there. Felix Tshisekedi HAS GOT TO GO😡😡😡
The coup failed because it was not well prepared ,the current president is weak and incompetent ,people are fed up with him.
Not really, FELIX is a failure. He has to go. He’s incompetent
This is a new age in Africa. The youth wants Africa to be free. These coups aren't working anymore.
Some are good like mali and niger etc
THE WEST NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF AFRICA'S BUSINESS.
WE GOT THIS!!!!
UNITE AFRICA
❤❤❤
They won’t not soon😂
David Otto!! You sir are absolutely right in your assessment!!!!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥
If it was Haiti 🇭🇹 they would have succeeded. Haitians are much easier to get manipulated.
WTF happened to Haiti 🇭🇹
Actually, there was a white American in that attempted coup. His name is Benjamin Reuben Zalman-Polun and he’s a cannabis entrepreneur.
I DONT GET IT,YOU SAID THERE IS A WHITE MAN AMONG THEM,SO WHAT IS THE DEAL.WHAT ABOUT HIM.
@@Zsm.edits756 I don’t know if you watched the full video or not but the analyst that she interviewed said that these Americans could be dual citizens of the USA and the Democratic Republic of Congo. There is a video circulating with one of the Americans and he’s white. That’s all I’m saying. There’s no need to shout.
@@rafiqjennings5262 I saw him after being beaten up and arrested 😳
That name is fake.
@@atherzaidi5871 The name is fake? I think somebody here mentioned that they saw the video where they showed him and his passport with that name. Can you share where it was disclosed that the name is fake?
When real life is not like call of duty 🤣
Multiple White American involved it's even on RUclips
They won't , however, the world sees everything now on Social Media. Well, the Western Media can't twist the narratives in their best favor. Knowledge is power and the youth are wiser now.
Africa is purging!... continue!
Thanks Alyson and David ❤️🇨🇩🦾😇🌹👋
I think there should now be a warning to foreigners. If you come to our countries again to do such things then expect something worst than jail time.
I'm John from nyanza this channel first post ❤
How many countries in Africa have problems in the 54 countries?
The DR of the Congo needs Political stability. The attempted coup reveals there are problems in the DRC to be resolved. Relations with other prominent Sfrican States is vital for the DRC survival and progress for the DRC population to benefit from all changes. Its the people hard working individuals who suffer with Coups in Africa . All Govts in Africa need to restore public confidence with good governance to bring stability and progress.Great interview with the Guest from Abuja Nigeria. Keep up the good work Allyson .
The coup was a voice of congolais, period.
Do you remember those people who came to Rwanda from London
You mean the refugees?
Those people their playing games to Africa
Point dear
So Why can't America take its forces to Haiti instead of bringing them to DRC to organize a coup?
I guess that there is nothing in Haiti that can benefit USA 😂😂😂😂
It’s individuals, not the US government.
@@angrydoggy9170sure
Congo need a change the richest county in the world.
Not American, it is Congolese with US citizenship, the president Tchissekedi is also Belgian!!!??? So Nothing unusual, that is Congo.
One was white American
Where was the security guards when the armed men were entering the palace?
Dear First Post team, your journalist comment in her intro is incredibly negative. Your Africa correspondent should be from the continent in order to address our issues impartially. It is quite odd for me to see a white woman talk about us. Would you have an African correspondent in Europe or America? Representation matters.
why do we have a white South African presenting continent-wide coverage on Africa for Firstpost? Will there be multiple commentators from different parts of a diverse and enormous continent?
This one Africa
American and British in attempted coup to Congo but caught.
To all of those who really like the DR Congo proclaim with a very loud voice "Felix Tshisekedi, the National Hippo 🦛!!! Our Potbellied leader 🍺🍻 VIVA✌️ VIVA ✌️"

Because of him all the pet dogs (animals) in my country are fearing for their lives
I'm afro Colombian..diasporan slave descendientes....yisayah congo ..im a Congolese descendants...must black Colombia 🇨🇴 are Congolese....we love both congo...im coming one day.
@@paulca3321 you are Kingdom descendente ,so you could be From congo democratic 🇨🇩, Congo Brazzaville , Angola 🇦🇴 or Gabon 🇬🇦 because de ancient kongo kingdom are spread around those countries.
Just wondering how the group easily got access into the presidential palace? There's definitely a problem within the President's guard.
Chisekedi wetu Mungu akulinde vema
Africa countries must be away from the USA and the west point ready, Idi Amin was doing well, open your eyes
But why you can’t get an Africa reporter to do the African report this woman can’t even pronounce African names and places why
given the immense amateurism of the mutineers and that the leader of the mutineers is well introduced into the president 's entourage it look like an employee dissatisfied with his boss than a coup d'etat
This lady is so pretty! 😍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
AI
At first I thought she was an AI generated lady. Is she a real human?
Africa leaders and learning at all in these modern times still linking up with these colonisers
Undercover mercenaries
But A Question begs to be answered "What is Democracy"
I wonder a world without America.
"the crises in Africa is worsen". REALLY
Americans are in the DRC, the wealthiest poor country in the world. There is no conflict in the world without the US
They say the straight way always has a bend I have seen, decide my Congo!!!!
A country like Congo each citizen over 18 should be on a payroll for atleast USD300 a month
Toomuch wealth for the citizens to suffer very sad.
Wait. As much as he’s safe and it’s a good thing (🤷🏽♀️), how can someone decide to start a coup and then broadcast it live with all his plans and intentions for the world before he finishes 😢 no. Something smells fishy. Either he’s soooooo dumb or something’s up.
Rule no. 1: if any government stays undisturbed and comfortable, it favours the West.
Gold is the problem I feel so sorry for Congo
This is very worrying.
DR Congo & Congo must dam the Congo river with Chinese help and power half of Africa!
❤
It was Samuel Do style but failed. Lamumba is back.
From Liberia
An you hear someone say its a conspiracy theory , just imagine 😅
I hope that american in custody will get a fair trial. If the evidence convicts him, he should be dealt with on high treason. Hopefully these guys dont go corrupt and allow them to negotiate and bribe him out the country.
Namabeshyo na rdf niko ivuga ko yabasweye
Well We know who is arming 🤔❤️
That so called opposition, had TUTSI BLOOD in him.
Its just fine ,people are not perfect
Do not allow this thing to happen
Apparently this is the purposes to have dual passports.
what is Americans doing in Congo this is a shame for America
Trying to do regime change in Congo. Luckily for the loyalty of the population
Evil America
Another day. Another coup. The crisis continues in Africa... 😅
More than 3/4 of African countries are free from coups. You all know which countries are being distablised by the coups, who's behind them and for what reason. Speak directly to them.
Tell Nigeria and Ghana tell the U S to stop training on bases you gave them. Yessss !! Post as tourists. But you have them to sageguard Africa ,??? Hmmmm
It all depends who is behind the coup and what are their in tention
Viva DRC!!
Too bad short changed by CIA who promised to support the coup with manpower & firepower but last minute cold feet reneged so Malanga RIP
US as it always does interfering in Africa's business. UN needs to leave Africa because wherever it is present in Africa there is chaos and lack of stability.
Same can be said about China and Russia.
Let them keep peace
Believe me no more mining African to capitalism country
Africans we're in trouble
This happening in the wrong place. Kenya needs this more than the Congolese
They tried at bomas what happened??
They succeeded by imposing dictator bruto in kenya and are busy using him to accomplish their agenda.
This was the hand of Amerikaren she really doesn't believe that she has lost her blessing 😂by TMH Yah. APTTMHGY acknowledge Mother Wisdom 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾.
look 5 months no gouvernement yet in the country
Africa,
WITHOUT AFRICA 🌍, NO MONEY NO LIFE FOR WESTERNS THE THIEVES WILL SUFFER 😊
I
President tshisekedi tuna kupenda sana baaba wetu.
Forget the Congo and the disgusting acts
President Felix Whoo?😆😆😆
Malanga should have tried the election route. If it failed when people want you then coup makes sense.
this is america and france
That useless president needs to go!!!
With all the minerals this country has it is still one poorest country. Very sad.
Hope DR Congo will realize that their enemies are the sons and daughters of Congo not Rwanda
wtf
@@natgenesis5038 at least you have seen those involved
Kagame is the biggest enemiey of the Congolese people,he is a wolf in a sheep's cloth
RAWANDA IS ENEMY TO MOTHERLAND
Rwanda too because USA and Europe use Rwanda
US France must get out of Africa period
DRC Congo must in East Africa community to make sure that we have one Army.America Government are made agreements with the government to come to mining Menirols in Congo wapige marufuko watoke kwa DRC Congo. Warudi kwa America. Na Canada and UK.
Too must talking during coup leads to fail coup
