What a crazy day. Most likely scenario is that they were mercenaries for an American based politician from there. this is the US ambassador acknowledging reports of the Americans and promising to cooperate. 50 total,people arrested so they weren’t alone, whatever happened.
MAGA hates the CIA right now? Hard to keep track. What if they say nice things about Trump? Also, are you losing it? Finally OD'd on those right-wing fake news sites?

doesn't sound very well organized or funded Congo Coup Leader Killed in Foiled Attack, Presidency Says (msn.com) The attack in the capital, Kinshasa, comes amid a series of coups that have spread across West and Central Africa over the past five years, installing military governments who have shunned the West and forged closer ties with Russia. Congo is the world’s biggest producer of cobalt, a key component in electric vehicles, and its vast mineral wealth makes it a strategically important ally for both the West and China, which dominates its mining industry. The overthrow of the government could pose a huge threat to both internal stability and foreign interests. But Sunday’s attempt — launched by a small opposition group based outside the country, seemingly without any military support — didn’t appear to have put the country in any real danger. The attackers led by Christian Malanga, the self-exiled leader of the New Zaire movement, arrived in two groups and began their assault early Sunday morning on the residence of Vital Kamerhe, one of Congo’s leading politicians and a candidate to be head of the National Assembly. After a fight that left two police dead, according to the government, Malanga and several attackers broke off to drive to Tshisekedi’s office, where the men took down and burned Congolese flags and raised at least one flag of the former Zaire. Soon after, the Republican Guard stopped the armed men, killing multiple attackers including Malanga, according to the government. The army spokesman told the Associated Press the group included three Americans, and the US ambassador to Congo, Lucy Tamlyn, said on X that she was “very concerned by reports of American citizens allegedly involved” and that Washington would cooperate with an investigation “to the fullest extent.”
