Fringe DRC politician killed in foiled coup attempt – US business partner arrested

Christian Malanga apparently died in battle, leading a foiled coup in Kinshasa, DRC.The coup attempt was broadcast live on Facebook by Malanga.

Sources within the government told News24 that the armed men only gained access to Tshisekedi's office. President Tshisekedi won a contested second term in December last year against the backdrop of increasing insecurity in the eastern part of the country. This was the first coup attempt in the SADC region since the successful November 2017 coup in Zimbabwe.
