Are the foreigners Europeans or Americans or mercenaries hired by the West?
If true, the foreigners can only be the West.
Wagner group in Africa now…coincidence?
Name the nationality of the foreigners.
Because President of Congo recently said he preferred to work with Russia 🇷🇺 and China 🇨🇳 and here come France and his western criminals with Apple and failed lol 😆.
Those so-called armed men can't be motivated by themselves there must be foreign support hidden behind seeking to destabilize the Country .
America seeking to take power in Congo
Opposition leader in exile. Why do you colonialists like to sanitize terrorists? These are foreign sponsored Congolese Hamas. Condemn them like you are doing in Israel.
I was literally wondering when the next African coup attempt was gonna be last night and oof.
Update: It was barely even 2 hours when it happened after I was wondering.
thats the problem of stealing elections
Colonialist Be very careful of them They've been doing For over five hundred years
It's a mockery, the so-called instigator of a coup d'état is well known to the president, they were together in the diaspora
African leaders remove Boarders and unity
😂😂😂😂😂
Amreeka spreading freedom, democracy & liberty!
This is for control over minerals like cobalt. Which the Congo is rich in. The worlds needs an increase in cobalt. Due to electric vehicles
Leave Africa alone !
If it was a Coup there would be a Brigade of Men to take out the Infrastructure this was something else.
