It is not a war zone but rather partly a genocide zone in North Kivu and Katanga, the rest of Congo Kinshasa or DRC is totally at peace and it is a 2.345 million km2 country. But they were initially in Kinshasa where there were deaths after they tried to escape and they were captured. I think that the USA will negotiate as will the European countries involved and Israel.

As the guy above said not really alike. The attempt in Venezuela was a lot more complicated than most people realize. At the bare minimum the White House knew about it. Maximum, it was funded in part by Washington (certainly in the beginning but perhaps they pulled support). Months before the actual coup in Venezuela there was an assassination attempt via drone on the president. Colombia was used as a staging and training ground. This was way more sloppy than what happened in Venezuela and that’s saying a lot because what happened there was considered sloppy. US gov probably had nothing to do with this. Probably didn’t even know it was going to happen unlike Venezuela.

[@elmztana1201]

Congo is the biggest exporter in coltan. Literally needed for every micro chip . Gold diamonds , gold and many other elements. Yet remain extremely poor . The reason is outside forces meddling and trying to seat a puppet government that will sell these things for a guaranteed fraction of the price. They are also willing to cause instability in regions to make sure things don’t change . In business there is a term, elasticity and inelasticity. inelasticity means you can increase prices and people would still have pay , such as gas , electricity , cigarettes etc. The only thing that stops prices being forced high is supply and demand, if there is a high supply to meet the demand competition would automatically lower prices, it is inevitable. I say all that to say , the Congo could wake up tomorrow and charge the world 10x the price for coltan and the world would be forced to pay . However, this would cause a shift in power , and a domino effect in countries with resources . And would force the west to its teeth to make sure this isn’t the case and their economy is not affected. Colonialism didn’t leave , it just went and got a phd in business and marketing, while negotiating with a gun in hand

We as Africans know that corruption is rife amongst the ruling elite. However, we also know that the enablers of corruption in Africa live in Europe & America.

Why haters are still spewing venom on the US. The Malanga dude was a Congolese citizen who went to DR Congo to challenge the sitting president, his fellow citizen. Trust me, if "The" America was behind this coup, the DR. Congo president would be pushing daisies by now.

These people publicly streamed to FB announcing their plans, giving location data, and had US passports in their pockets. The CIA is not this sloppy, even on the historical failed coup's. You are gullible.

[@pswire1117]

This was just a stupid plan, stupidly executed. We need to give Langley a little more credit, they would not have planned or funded such an amateur coup. This is just a nutty guy and his hired guns who got wayyy too overconfident. This attempted coup was worse than 2016 Turkish disaster, which was so bad people were laughing at them, tried to take over the Turkish government with a few tanks and one helicopter, FFS.

The father is dead, and now the son will be locked up for life if the U.S. doesn't get involved. But if the U.S. does get involved to ask for the son to be brought back, then DRC will confirm that the U.S. was involved in the coup! The son will get the death penalty for nothing! What a waste!

All they want to do is blame America. They have this mineral wealth, yet the people live in poverty and squalor. They are being made slaves by the Chinese, yet they blame America. By the time they finish blaming America, they ALL will be slaves again. Remember, we were sold into slavery by our own African people, but a blind man cannot see, can he?

To associate the CIA with this nonsense is ridiculous. It shows very much where Africa as continent is at this point. I saw on the Internet a Chinese man beating his African workers. Where is the outcry of the African continent? They are blaming the Americans, but the Chinese are making them slaves in their own continent. What idiots?

[@chezrach_francoise6466]

So the leader dies a stupid death. Still trying to understand, did he think anything through? Leaders usually aren't the first to die. What was he trying to accomplish? As a DRC born, I think what he did was very stupid.
